Rash of East Dublin Burglaries Prompts Police to Step Up Patrols

DUBLIN, CA: In an effort to curb the recent increase in residential burglaries occurring throughout the east side of Dublin, police have increased patrols and met with neighborhood watch teams, Dublin Police Lieutenant Nate Schmidt said.

Residents in the Positano and Dublin Ranch neighborhoods say their communities have been on high alert in the wake of the burglaries. According to Schmidt, the most recent burglary was discovered on Wednesday morning.

The number of property crimes--home burglaries, car burglaries, packages stolen from doorsteps--in the Tri-Valley has soared over the past year, frustrating residents and prompting police departments to urge everyone to “call early and often” if something seems amiss.
