Radnor Police responded to five residential burglaries and one vehicle burglary over the weekend, police said Monday morning.

The burglaries took place between midnight and 5 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 7, in the St. David’s section of the township police said.

All of the burglaries occurred in close proximity to SEPTA’s Paoli-Thorndale line, police said, and all of the homes were occupied at the time the burglaries occurred.

Two of the burglaries were on the 500 block of Saint David’s Avenue; two were on the 300 block of Belrose Lane; and one was on the 400 block block of Glenmary Road, police said. The vehicle burglary was also on the 500 block of Saint David’s Avenue.

In the residential burglaries, the homes were entered either through unlocked doors or by removing window screens and entering through ground-floor windows, police said.

The vehicle also was unlocked, police said.

Among the items taken were pocketbooks and handbags, cell phones, laptop computers, iPads, U.S. currency and liquor, police said.

“Residents are reminded to lock all doors and windows when retiring for the evening or when leaving the residence and to use a burglar alarm if the residence is so equipped,” police said in a statement.

Police also asked that the public be “cautious and observant of any individuals that may appear to be suspicious or may be walking along the SEPTA rail tracks.” Residents are asked to report anything or anyone suspicious by calling 911.
