DI Residential Burglary Update

The west end of Dauphin Island has experienced multiple residential burglaries recently. Most have occured at houses on the north side of the island along Mississippi Sound and all were unoccupied at the time of the break ins. As a result, the Dauphin Island Police Department has scheduled additional officers on overtime with extra patrols and we are working with several other law enforcement agencies to put a stop to these crimes. Persons with houses on the west end should contact the DI Police Department (861-5523) if they notice anything out of order or see something that looks suspicious. As always, we recommend that all property owners maintain a list of valuables (preferrably with serial numbers) including the type of device, model number, etc. for future reference. All property owners in the area should make sure that houses are locked and alarms set when they leave. The Dauphin Island Police are working diligently to bring these illegal activities to an immediate halt and arrest the perpetrators. Please forward this information to fellow property owners.
