A series of daylight residential burglaries has swept through the Town of Darien, reports the Sheriff's Office, and officials are asking for citizen help in thwarting the criminals.
In a statement from Chief Deputy Jerome Brewster, the office is asking that residents who see vehicles driving slowly through neighborhoods, stopped along the side of the road, or unfamiliar people walking down driveways or emerging from fields or wooded areas, be reported immediately.
Suspicious activity can be reported by calling 9-1-1 or (585) 343-5000.
Vehicle descriptions and license plate numbers are helpful if they can be obtained without risk.
There were three burglaries on Route 77, Darien, on Thursday and another was reported on Route 20 yesterday.
Brewster said these crimes mirror similar reports in Erie and Wyoming counties, where jewelry and weapons have been stolen.
