DAVIS – Davis police are investigating after an uptick in burglaries throughout the city. Officials are now urging residents to stay vigilant and lock their doors.
“That is very concerning,” said UC Davis student Randall Fowler.
Neighbors are being extra careful following an uptick in home burglaries, including 18 calls to the Davis Police Department in the past week.
“I need to start locking every single time. I don’t think I can be so comfortable leaving the house and having it unlocked,” Fowler said.
Police said some neighbors have returned home to find their belongings ransacked and valuables taken.
“I’ve never heard of this, so it’s kind of scary that this is happening on a day-to-day basis,” said Charlotte Hurnes, a Davis resident.
CBS13 met with Davis PD, who said they started seeing an increase in this kind of property crime over the past month and it’s looking less coincidental.
“Given the time and proximity, it is entirely possible they are connected,” Hurnes said.
