On Tuesday, March 1, 2011, Wayland Police responded to two residential burglaries. One burglary occurred on Knollwood Lane and the other on Cochituate Road. Both burglaries had occurred sometime during the day and were discovered by the homeowners when they arrived home in the late afternoon.   In both cases televisions, electronics and jewelry were targeted and it is believed they are related.

 

Wayland detectives are investigating these crimes and ask anyone that may have seen any suspicious activity in the vicinity of Knollwood Lane or Cochituate Road near Old Connecticut Path to contact them at 508-358-4721. 

 

Additional daytime burglaries have occurred in the towns of Lincoln and Framingham recently. Police ask homeowners to secure their homes when they leave, set their burglar alarms if they have one and to immediately report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods. If an unknown person knocks on your door and asks for directions or provides other excuses for them being there, it is possible that they are checking to see if someone is home before breaking in. This type of activity should immediately be reported to the police so we can attempt to identify the individuals. Vehicle descriptions and license plate numbers aid the police in investigating and identifying suspicious individuals.
