GUILFORD, Conn. -- A string of burglaries in Guilford prompts residents to lock their doors and keep an eye out for their neighbors.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Hena Daniels reported six burglaries were reported this week, one of which was reported on Wednesday. Police said officers have responded to the areas of Old Miller, Little Meadow and East River roads and Goose and Wilburs lanes.

Investigators said the assailant has forced his way into houses virtually uninhibited during the day. A victim told Eyewitness News that the assailant entered her house through a basement door.

Daniels reported police believe the assailant may have entered houses through a window or doors, sometimes using remote garage door openers to gain entry into the houses. Cash, jewelry and electronics were reported stolen.

Police have only a vague description of a man between the ages of 25 and 35 in this case. A vehicle seen leaving a burglarized home was described as a red sedan, possibly an older model Toyota.

Police strongly recommend residents to lock their doors. If you have any information regarding this investigation, contact Guilford police by dialing 203-453-8061.
