In a Facebook post Tuesday, police said they are currently investigating four residential burglaries on Dale Avenue, Pinetree Road, Mayfield Road and Temple Drive. They also know that seeing an officer’s vehicle in a neighborhood may help to deter criminals and comfort those who live there. “Some of our officers patrolling your neighborhood will be driving unmarked vehicles and you may not be (recognizing) them as police officers,” the post said. The department’s crime mapping system, which provides information about criminal activity in specific sections of the city, can be accessed at WPPD.org.
