An increase in break-ins have occured over the past several weeks in Woodbury. Woodbury Police Chief Tony Burnett reports that over the last
week, the breakins have seemed to have subsided. One of the break-ins
occured in the county close to the city limits while the residents were
home. The suspects kicked a couple of doors in but did not enter the
residence. The problem with these suspects are that they are juveniles
who are not being supervised by parents or are considered runaways. The
suspects are not believed to be adults however the danger is not minimized
due to the fact. Patrols have been stepped up in the area. The Woodbury
Police Department would like to remind residents to notify the police
department of suspicious persons walking around after hours. The Town of
Woodbury has a curfew and it is enforced. It is not illegal for adults to
walk the street but it does help to know who is out there. If you do have
a vacant home or rental property try to leave the house in such a way that
it appears someone is home or in such a way that it is not obvious. We are
hoping to make arrest soon in these cases. The number to call after hours
is 563-4322. If it is an emergency call 911.
