Hillsborough Police Investigate Break-In on Ralston Avenue, Urge Use of Home Security and Surveillance

Hillsborough’s 3000 block of Ralston Avenue residents are on high alert after the authorities reported a residential burglary. According to the

Hillsborough Police Department’s social media post

, the break-in occurred sometime between Monday and yesterday. A returning family member discovered a shattered second-story window accompanied by an abandoned ladder.

As part of their response, HPD urges locals to review their home surveillance camera footage for any unusual activity. This includes the appearance of suspicious vehicles or individuals that might have been lingering in proximity to the crime scene during the specified dates. The Department’s initiative focuses on gathering additional evidence to aid their ongoing investigation.

In the wake of the burglary, community members are reminded about the merits of robust home security measures. “The Hillsborough Police Department strongly encourages the use of residential alarm and surveillance systems,” reads the

Hillsborough Police Department’s recommendation

. In addition to installing motion sensors on both levels of one’s residence, the police suggest placing one in the master bedroom for increased protection.

To create an illusion of occupancy that deters potential offenders, residents are advised to leave lights on, use timers, and operate televisions when away from home. While on vacation, enlisting a trusted individual to keep an eye on your residence, reroute packages, and pause any newspaper delivery is encouraged. During such absences, HPD offers additional peace of mind by providing a VACATION WATCH list that sees officers performing routine checks on enrolled homes.
