After her car was burgled in Salisbury on December 31, a Norfolk woman (who wishes to remain anonymous) wants to alert other residents to a mini crime spree that took place that day so they can be vigilant about their own security.
She reports that a burglar or burglars struck in two towns, breaking into victims’ cars and stealing wallets, checkbooks and other personal items.
Her locked vehicle was parked in Salisbury at the time of the incident. The thief or thieves attempted to use her personal identification to cash checks at different branches of her bank but the bank had immediately enacted its security protocols and no money was lost.
The thieves reportedly broke into cars in Goshen and Salisbury (including at a hiking trail in the Lakeville section of town). They attempted to cash checks in Washington, Cornwall and Sharon.
The police have yet to issue a report on the incidents.
