Four Sets of Rolling Ridge Fences to be Replaced

A number of the original split rail fences along Rolling Ridge Drive will be replaced in the very near future.  The fences, which have been repaired numerous times over their 35 year lifespans, have rotted at the bases and have fallen to the ground.  Some or all of the fences on the corners of Devonshire Ct., Lancaster Drive and Farington Ct. are slated for replacement by fence contractor Metropolitan Fence of Waukesha.

WAUKESHA — Police are warning residents to be vigilant in securing their homes after a string of break-ins on the city’s southwest side earlier this week.

Four homeowners, including a Waukesha police officer, reported burglaries from overnight Tuesday, according to an email from Waukesha Police Lt. Tom Wagner.

All of the burglaries were committed on occupied residences as the homeowners were sleeping, and in at least one instance the resident said he or she never heard a thing.

The suspect or suspects allegedly entered through basement window screens of two residences on Dana Lane, stealing cash, cellphones, an iPod and some Mace, according to police reports.

The perpetrator also allegedly entered residences
 on Leslie Lane and Riverton Drive, in one instance by prying open a side garage door, and stole iPads, a laptop and cellphones.

According to Wagner’s email, the burglar ate a peach and left part of it on the counter at one of the residences, and police are swabbing it for DNA evidence.

Wagner said police are following leads in the case but hadn’t arrested anyone as of Friday afternoon.

Meanwhile, he said, it’s important for homeowners
 in the area and throughout the city to take security measures to avoid becoming a target.

Wagner suggested not relying on screens as your sole source of security — make sure to close and lock the main window or door before you go to bed. He said to ensure that garage and vehicle doors are locked as well.

Anyone with information about the crimes should call the Police Department at 262-524-3831.
