6 More Dearborn Home Break-ins Reported

With the Feb. 24 arrest of a man in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights, residents were resting a little easier.

But at least six more home break-ins and thefts have been reported to since Feb. 25–including one where $80,000 in jewelry was reported as stolen.

According to Dearborn police reports, the burglaries happened:

• Feb. 25 on the 7500 block of Kentucky at a vacant home;
• Feb. 27 on the 5000 block of Heather Drive;
• Feb. 28 on the 5200 block of Neckel; March 2 on the 3700 block of Heritage Parkway;
• March 2 on the 7300 block of Bingham;
• And March 4 on the 5400 block of Kenilworth.

Police have recieved several descriptions of possible suspects, but none have provided leads.

In the case of the vacant home break-in on Feb. 25 on Kentucky, neighbors reported seeing three black, teenage males, all wearing dark clothing, trying to gain entry to the home by prying a window open. The teens ran when they were spotted, and police could not locate them.

A resident of the Kenilworth home where a break-in was reported March 4 said that he came home around 11:30 p.m. and saw a large man–around 6-foot-five and weighing 250 pounds–in his kitchen doorway. The resident, who lives there with his mom, told police that the man ran out and jumped over the fence, but did not appear to steal anything.

In the worst of the thefts, a family of seven living on Bingham Street told police that the culprit had made off with $80,000 worth of jewelry from their home on March 2.

The eldest female and mother of three children–all of whom live at the house–said that she had recently had her jewelry appraised for insurance purposes. The thief, she said, had taken 42 pieces of jewelry totaling $78,534 in value. The remaining $2,100 in jewelry belonged to her husband.
