The Hammond Police Department is investigating several burglaries within the neighborhoods of University Avenue and along South Cherry Street. Most of the burglaries are occurring while people are out of town overnight or for several days. One burglary on South Cherry Street is believed to have occurred at approximately 3:45 am on December 15. At that time, two male subjects were seen in the victim’s backyard and left on foot.

He says it is important for citizens to stay vigilant by double-checking that homes and cars are locked and by quickly reporting any suspicious activity.
