Plymouth Township Police Investigating Home Burglary

PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, MI — Police are investigating a home invasion that happened in a Plymouth Township subdivision earlier this week.

The burglars broke into a home in the Lake Pointe subdivision near Ferrand Elementary School between 1 and 3 a.m. Tuesday, according to police.

The burglars took cash and credit cards, according to police.

Investigators asked nearby residents to review any security or doorbell camera footage from that time for clues that could help them identify the suspect.

Police asked anyone with information to call Detective Sergeant Hayes at 734-354-3232.

Police also shared some tips to help homeowners protect their properties:

• Check for easy access points such as unlocked doors, low windows, or tall shrubs that provide concealment. Keep valuables and electronics out of plain sight from windows.
• Trim shrubs and trees to eliminate hiding spots.
• Use lighting strategically. Well-lit homes are less likely to be targeted. Consider installing a motion-activated or dusk-to-dawn exterior lighting around entrances and driveways.
• Secure doors and windows. Always lock all entry points, including garage doors, even when home. Consider smart locks or door sensors for added peace of mind.
• Store valuables safely. Use a heavy or mounted safe or lockbox to secure cash, jewelry and important documents.
• Leverage security technology. Doorbell and exterior cameras can deter theft and provide valuable evidence if a crime occurs.
• Stay alert and connected. Watch out for suspicious activities and communicate regularly with trusted neighbors when you’re away from home. Avoid sharing vacation plans publicly until after you return.
