Burglars target Langdon Street Friday, Saturday

Police reported a string of four separate residential burglaries on Langdon Street last weekend, according to Madison police.

The first burglary was reported on the 200 block of Langdon Street Friday at approximately 5:45 a.m. after residents discovered a break-in, according to Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain.

Then, on Saturday morning, three more Langdon Street residents reported burglaries. One occurred on the 200 block, and two on the 100 block, according to the report.

The report stated electronics and money were targeted in all four burglaries.

In two of the cases, the burglars entered the residence through unlocked doors, according to the report. However, in the other two incidents the burglars entered through unlocked windows after screens were cut.

Langdon neighborhood officer Grant Humerickhouse said in a release Tuesday although no injuries have occurred yet, he is concerned about the rise in area burglaries because the nature of the crimes jeopardizes the personal safety of Langdon residents.

Humerickhouse encouraged people to lock their doors, store valuable items away from window view and report suspicious behavior to police.
