The incidents have also occurred during the daytime hours.

As the investigation into these burglaries continues, the police department is requesting the assistance of the community to be vigilant in reporting any suspicious circumstances in your neighborhood. In particular, residents are reminded to be aware of any person(s) that may appear at their doorstep (or their neighbor’s) wishing to provide a service that had not been requested, asking for someone that does not live there, or acting like they must be at the wrong address.

In addition, residential security systems should be used, if so equipped, when leaving the residence or retiring for the evening.

If you observe behavior that is unusual or suspicious, contact the Hinsdale Police Department by calling 9-1-1. It is important to report an accurate description of the person's clothing, height, gender, and race. If you observe a vehicle, note the color, make, style, and/or license plate.
