burglary

It's not always convenient to do a full home security check before we leave our homes. And most of the time, locking the doors is enough security to keep our things and ourselves safe. But, criminals are using a tactic to break into Michigan homes that you might be overlooking and basically inviting them in.

The Battle Creek Police Department says Tuesday that over the past few days, four separate burglaries were reported in the Lakeview area; in all of these incidents, suspects entered the home at night, while the residents were asleep. It appears the suspects got into the homes by entering through unsecured rear, side, or garage doors.
