Franklin Police are investigating a series of auto burglaries in two communities. At least seven unlocked vehicles were burglarized on Eden Park Drive, Pebble Springs Drive, Stoney Point Lane, and Keswick Grove Lane in the Ashton Park Subdivision (a gated community) during the overnight hours of Sunday night into Monday morning. Cash and other valuables were taken.
This rash of auto burglaries follows four reported burglaries of unlocked cars in the Sullivan Farms Subdivision, eight miles away, late Friday night or early Saturday. Safe, trusting communities make ideal targets for auto burglars and other criminals. Despite Franklin’s low crime-rate, residents are urged to remove valuables and lock their car doors.
Residents in both subdivisions are asked to review home surveillance system footage for clues that might help in these investigations. Anyone with information should call Franklin Police at 794-2513.
