Lewes homes targeted in burglaries
Delaware State Police say thieves recently targeted two Lewes homes; they are warning people to secure cash and jewelry.
Police said burglars went to homes in Compass Point and Kindleton, and also Kings Crossing in Lincoln during the daytime hours of April 22-23. Police said the suspects were wearing construction vests, gloves, baseball hats, sweatshirts and surgical masks and appear to be targeting local nail salon owners. Some of them forced their way into the homes. The suspects may be operating a dark-colored SUV, police said.
Police say residents should lock their doors, and secure large amounts of cash and jewelry through secure locations such as banks or safety deposit boxes. Report any suspicious activity by calling 911.
