Unlocked Window Leads to 2nd Home Burglary in 5 Days
Shorewood police are urging residents to keep their home doors and windows locked after a second break-in in the village.
For the second time in less than a week, a home was burglarized in Shorewood after the intruders cut through the screen of an unlocked window.
The most recent burglary happened between 10 p.m. Saturday and 7:55 a.m. Sunday in the 3700 block of Morris Boulevard, Shorewood police said.
The circumstance in that crime are similar to a daytime burglary that happened Wednesday in the 400 block of Frederick Avenue, where entry was also gained through an unlocked window after the screen was cut.
In that crime, which remained unsolved as of late Friday, $3,000 in electronics were taken. There was no word Sunday on what — if anything — was taken from the Morris Boulevard home.
Shorewood police are urging all residents to keep all doors and windows locked. Anyone with information on either break-in is asked to call the Shorewood Police Department at (414) 847-2610.
