Rash of thefts hits neighborhood - My Citizens News
BEACON FALLS — A neighborhood in town has fallen victim to a recent rash of car break-ins and thefts. The break-ins occurred at the end of July in an area of town off of Route 42 known locally as “The Avenues. ” Along with the break-ins, two cars were stolen from the neighborhood during the early morning hours on July 31. Beacon Falls Resident State Trooper Humberto Henriques said the majority of the break-ins involve cars that were left unlocked. He said the person or persons responsible for these recent break-ins have been checking to see if any cars are unlocked and taking any electronics or items of value from the cars. “First and most import, if not securing your car in a garage, take everything of value out of it, bring it inside and lock your car doors,” Bielik said. A black 2007 Acura MDX was stolen from 171 Feldspar Ave. The town currently has eight part-time officers, three full-time officers and a resident state trooper. There are sometimes during a week — depending on the schedule of state police — when the town is reliant on a state trooper patrolling Route 8 from exits 13 to 29 to provide police coverage overnight.
