(Via from Marlborough Community Coalition email)
In the last couple of weeks there have been a rash of burglaries in the Marlborough/Tower Park areas (both residential and commercial break-ins). The thieves seem to focus on computer equipment. The police have a positive ID of one suspect, however, until they are apprehended, please exercise consistent and conscientious home/office security.
If you would like a security assessment of your home or office, please call KCPD's Community Interaction Officer John Trainor at 816-349-6428 or email him at john.trainor@kcpd.org
