Sheriff’s deputies and detectives have made several arrests in connection with burglaries in the Morongo Basin, including one man who is a suspect in six burglaries in Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley. Many burglaries are crimes of opportunity. Sheriff’s Captain Jeff Joling offered the following tips to limit your exposure. “For safety, they should keep their vehicles always locked. Their residence always locked. Report suspicious activity. And don’t keep their extra set of keys in their vehicle. Keep the keys locked up as well, just not in their car.” Joling added that the Sheriff’s station plans to hold a community watch meeting soon for those who are interested in forming neighborhood watch groups.
