According to the police, burglaries such as the Old Town break-ins are likely to occur during unseasonably hot weather when residents leave their windows open at night to cool their homes.
The official police statement advised residents to find other ways to cool their homes and to secure their valuables so that they are not readily accessible to opportunistic criminals.
Anyone with information about the Old Town burglaries crimes should contact Seal Beach Police Corporal Dave Barr at (562) 700.4100, extension 1110.
