Three sets of homeowners in East Goshen Township returned home recently to an unwelcome discovery, said a press release from the Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department.
On June 18, police responded to a single-family home in the 400 block of Gateswood Drive. The homeowner reported that the home was vacant from June 16 through June 18, and during this time someone entered the residence and removed jewelry and firearms. There was no sign of forced entry into the home, and after the initial investigation, the victim determined that the firearms were still in the residence, police said.
The second incident surfaced on June 21, when officers responded to another single-family home in the same block. The homeowners reported that the home was unoccupied from June 18 through June 21; upon return, they located a rear sliding door partially opened. During the investigation, police said the offender gained access into the residence with a pry bar before stealing cash and coins.
On June 22, police responded to an attempted burglary in the 600 block of Marydell Drive. The homeowner reported that the home was vacant from June 18 through June 22. When they returned, they found damage to the rear sliding glass door. No entry was gained, and no property was taken, police said.
The Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department is working with area law enforcement to solve these thefts, the release said. The police department has also increased patrols of the targeted areas with marked and unmarked police vehicles.
