On Tuesday, December 13th, BSO deputies, firefighters, community service aides and volunteers will be out in force in all BSO jurisdictions distributing important information about residential burglaries.

In total, the areas patrolled by BSO have experienced a 20% increase in residential burglaries.

When they find their target, burglars will break doors or windows to enter the home and steal valuable property. These burglaries happen mostly when homeowners are at work, between 9 a.m. and noon. By the time the homeowner realizes they have been burglarized, the criminals are long gone.

BSO reminds residents to call 911 if they see something suspicious in their neighborhood. Please pass this information along to your friends, family and neighbors.
