Simple steps can help to deter crimes of opportunity, according to police
In the wake of the arrest of the alleged Crestwood Village burglar, police are urging residents to take steps to ensure that their homes do not become attractive targets to criminals.

The total number of completed or attempted burglaries in the Crestwood Villages has risen to 53 since early July, Manchester Chief of Police Brian Klimakowski told village residents Wednesday, the day after a detective nearly caught the suspect. The suspect, who police describe as a white male under 6 feet tall with dark hair in his 20s, was spotted entering a back yard by a detective working a special detail in the area Tuesday night.
