A series of break-ins in Wilton and Kendall over the past few weeks has area residents nervous and concerned.
On Monday, Monroe County Sheriff Pete Quirin confirmed to the County Line that break-ins had been occurring, but he declined to say how many to avoid jeopardizing the investigation.
Quirin did say that rumors that four men were involved and that one was brandishing a weapon were not true.
“I have not heard that number,” he noted, and said there have been no incidents in which victims were threatened or harmed in any way.
He did concede that items taken were mostly those that could easily pawned or sold.
He urged residents to lock their vehicles and homes and noted that his office’s special investigative team is now working on the case.
