Burglars continued their spree across our neighborhood this weekend. A couple of residents managed to see the prowlers eye-to-eye.

The most brazen incident of the weekend came Friday night when a prowler broke into several cars in the parking garage at 918 Belmont. We say it’s brazen because about 12 cars were broken into at the same garage on April 19. Police issued an alert with photos of the April 19 suspect this week.
Elsewhere this weekend:

While she showed him to a spot in back, someone else entered her front door and took jewelry from her bedroom. Offenders were described as two Hispanic men in their 20’s.
