Aspen , Colo . – June 9 , 2022 –
Recently , the Aspen Police Department was called to two home burglaries in the Aspen area . Homes were unoccupied at the time of entry .
The Aspen Police Department advises homeowners and property management companies to take proper precautions to reduce the chance of properties being burglarized . If there is a security alarm system for the home , set it every time the property is left unattended and properly train all users on how to operate the system .
It’s important to register security alarm systems with the Aspen Police Department; Aspen Police only responds to security alarm activations if the system is registered , per City ordinance .
Additional precautions one can take include updating security alarm systems and adding second - floor motion sensors and glass break sensors to areas with large windows or glass doors . Further , if a home is left unoccupied , make it appear occupied by using light timers , or leaving on an interior light or television . The use of “smart lights” can make the home appear as though someone is home .
Property owners are also encouraged to let neighbors know if they are away from their home for extended periods of time .
If suspicious activity is observed , please call law enforcement and report it immediately .
