The Wareham Police Department Detective Division reports that there is an ongoing investigation into residential break and entering incidents reported in the West Wareham area, specifically in the areas of Fearing Hill Rd., County Rd., and Main Street. Suspects have been reported to enter residents by non-forceful means through unlocked basements, windows, and doors, often times without causing notice to the fact that they were in the house.

Detectives would like to remind homeowners to secure their homes and property to avoid such incidents. Citizens of Wareham, particularly those residing in the above mentioned areas are requested to check their houses for possible security breaches, and to check their possessions, particularly jewelry items, in case of possible thefts that may have gone unnoticed.
