Reminder to secure your home when away and overnight – and notify police immediately of any suspicious people:

Two weeks ago Shelburne Police reported two incidents on Marie Street where two homes were entered overnight by an unknown assailant(s) and some easily accessible valuables were stolen. There have not been any arrests in regards to these cases. Although there have not been any further reports of similar incidents Shelburne Police is reminding residence of the following:

• Lock all doors and windows when nobody is home. An insecure home is an easy target

• Lock all doors and windows when sleeping overnight

• Call the police immediately of any suspicious activity. Don’t wait to the next day or until you see an officer drive by. The earlier police are notified of anything suspicious the better chance a potential crime can be averted and the better chance potential criminals can be identified.

• If you have any information on a crime that has already occurred contact the police or leave an anonymous tip through crime stoppers.
