Folsom Police Launch Investigation into Attempted Apartment Break-Ins

The Folsom Police Department is actively investigating a series of attempted break-ins at local apartment complexes. While no entries were successfully made and no items were reported stolen, the incidents have prompted police to issue safety reminders to residents living in multi-family housing units.

Suspicious Activity Reported

According to police logs, multiple apartment residents reported hearing suspicious noises or finding signs of tampering on their front doors and patio entryways. In some instances, surveillance cameras captured individuals attempting to open locked doors or peer through windows during late-night hours. Police believe the suspect or suspects are targeting ground-floor units with vulnerable sliding glass doors or windows.

Safety Recommendations for Residents

Law enforcement officials recommend that apartment residents take immediate precautions to secure their homes. These include installing secondary locks on sliding glass doors, utilizing security bars in door tracks, and keeping blinds closed at night. The Folsom Police Department has increased patrols in the areas where the attempted break-ins occurred and asks anyone who notices suspicious individuals loitering around apartment buildings to contact dispatch immediately.
