Burglars Enter a Mount Curve Home Through a Rear Window

A home on the 1600 block of Mount Curve Avenue in Lowry Hill was burglarized while the residents were away, with entry made through a rear window, police said. No one was home and no injuries were reported; no arrest has been announced.

Entry away from the street

Burglars often choose a rear or side window out of view of the street, especially at homes that look unoccupied. Reports of this kind remain uncommon in Lowry Hill but draw close attention when they occur.

Lowry Hill News reports the block only and names no resident or unconvicted person.

Deterrence while you are out

Officers suggest timers on interior lights, secured rear windows, and a neighbor collecting mail and packages during a trip. Anyone with footage from the 1600 block of Mount Curve Avenue can reach the 5th Precinct or 311.

A house that looks lived-in — lights, collected mail, an alert neighbor — is the one most burglars skip.
