The Alliance Police Department is requesting help from the community in recent burglaries.
Since February, the Alliance Police Department has investigated over 60 burglaries in the community.
"In each instance, force was used to make entry into a structure and property was stolen," Alliance Police Sergeant Cody Buskirk said. "The Alliance Police Department is investigating and following up on multiple leads in these cases. However, the vigilance of the citizens of Alliance is crucial in solving the problem. Please lock the doors on your shops, sheds, garages, vehicles and your residence. Most of these burglary cases resulted due to locks being cut off of storage units. Frequently check the locks on your storage unit at your local storage facility."
Buskirk said using security systems, lighting, trail cams and other devices will help in burglaries.
"Most importantly, if you see something, say something," Buskirk said.
You can report suspicious activity to the Alliance Police Department by calling (308) 762-4955.
