Such was the case yesterday at the Nabisco Lofts


Police warn residents to lock their doors even when home and check the peep hole before opening the door. “Had these doors been locked, the burglars might have knocked to see if someone was home before trying to bypass the lock. If a resident calls through the door, the burglar will usually make an excuse and leave.”
Detectives want the public to look at the video and call with any information if someone recognizes the man, woman or their brown Chevy Avalanche, which was seen being driven away. The man was described as bald, nearly 6 feet tall, over 250 pounds and wearing glasses. The woman was 5 feet 6 inches tall, 180 pounds, with braided hair and wearing high-top shoes.
