CHIPLEY — Sheriff Bobby Haddock is asking for the public’s help in solving a string of burglaries that have plagued Washington and sister counties for the last few weeks resulting in thousands of dollars in stolen property, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday.
“We want to solve these cases, but we need that one tip,” Haddock said. “We are asking that if residents see anything that seems suspicious, call 911. Secondly, do not try and confront these people, call us and let us do our job.”
WCSO suggests residents should be on the lookout for vehicles driving slowly on streets where the occupants appear to be looking around. Look for vehicles pulling into driveways and the occupants knocking on doors. It would be helpful for all suspicious behavior to be reported.
“We will exhaust every available resource to find those responsible for these burglaries, but we need the community to continue to work with us until we get these thefts resolved” Haddock said. “One of the ways you can help is taking the critical steps to make your home less inviting to the bad guys.”
