Due to the recent increase in burglaries, San Pedro Police is asking all residents to take extra measure securing their homes. “It is best to close and lock all windows and doors before going to bed or when leaving the house. Also leaving a light on outside of the home at night can help ward off burglars. Burglars tend to survey the house before they burglarize it, so if you see anything suspicious in your neighborhood, contact the police immediately,” Said Officer in Charge of Police, Luis Castellanos. The San Pedro Police urges all burglary victims to report the incident, as nothing can be done if the case is not reported. He also urges everyone to avoid purchasing stolen items, if the price seems too good, chances are, the item is stolen. Always ask for receipt of ownership. If you don’t buy, thieves have no incentive to steal. If you are caught with stolen goods, you can be charged with “Handling Stolen Goods”.
