Lock your doors and windows
A residential burglary was reported on May 8 in the 2100 block of Folwell Avenue in Falcon Heights. The incident happened after the resident had retired for the night. It is believed the suspects entered the home through an unlocked door. Now that warm weather is here, police are reminding residents to lock their windows and doors night.
