Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I regret that I have to bring you this unsettling news, but it is
nonetheless important to share so that we can watch out for each
other. On Wednesday, August 31st, there were two more daytime house
break-ins here in Hanover. As with previous occurrences earlier this
summer, the break-ins occurred on a main road, Webster and Cedar
Streets this time, and in the morning, this time sometime between 9:00
a.m. – 11:00 a.m. One unusual difference: at one house there was a
dog in the back yard behind a fence, so the thieves kicked in the
front door (rather than the back door as in previous breaks). Items
stolen were “quick-hit items” including electronics like a TV and
an Xbox, and jewelry, just as in the previous break-ins back in July
and late June. That brings us to a total of 10 break-ins with a
similar pattern within the past two months right here in Hanover.
Once again, this information originally came to me from a good friend
who had been victimized but nonetheless wanted to sound the alarm for
all of us. I love her indomitable spirit! With the kids going back to
school next week, houses will be empty. Talk to your neighbors and let
them know your schedule so that they can keep an eye on your house for
you. If you notice any unusual activity, do not hesitate to call the
Hanover Police Department at 911 in a pressing situation, or the
business line at (781) 826-3231 for general non-urgent matters.
Detectives Abban and Owens are working hard on these cases and can be
reached at 781-826-2335, x114 or x115 respectively. Let’s be their
eyes and ears!
