Police solved property crime

Kudos to our Police Department!

Our home was burglarized a few weeks back. We called Crime Check really expecting no action judging from recent articles in the newspaper. To the contrary, a police officer arrived at our home an hour later, gathered information, called us back two days later, and asked if another officer could dust for prints.

We were impressed but thought that was it, as neither officer was optimistic there would be results. We were pleasantly surprised to hear from the Sheriff’s Office three weeks later that Susan’s laptop had been recovered and was just needed for a couple days more for evidence, and then we would get it back.

Thanks to the police for a job well done and all they do to make our community safer. As my dad used to say, “They run to what most of us run away from.”
