Burglars target
of campaign
A burglary occurs every two
minutes in Texas, leaving be
hind losses that cannot be re-
ItlPPKRS
placed. In Texas, burglary rings
account for $245 million in
stolen goods annually — an av
erage loss of $966 per home.
Crime prevention is one
answer to this growing problem.
The simple act of locking one’s
home before leaving reduces the
chances of burglary by 20 per
cent. The Texas Crime Stoppers
Advisory Council is trying to see
that criminals who make their
living by stealing from others
are put behind bars.
For January, Texas Crime
Stoppers is focusing its statewide
Crime of the Month program on
burglary. Any citizen having in
formation about a particular
burglary is asked to call the anti
crime hotline at 1-800-252-
TIPS.
