Several homes in Marianna and Grand Ridge were broken into during the day while their owners were either away or at work on Feb. 1.
According to a Jackson County Sheriff’s Office press release, the burglarers took guns, jewelry and electronics.
Two of the homes are on Spring Valley Drive near Highway 73, south of Marianna. Two other homes are on U.S. Highway 90 and Inwood Road, east of Grand Ridge.
One attempted entry was interrupted by the home’s alarm. This was on Shady Grove Road near Sand Basin Road.
Major Donnie Branch said all the burglaries may be related, but the Sheriff’s office is exploring all possibilities.
Residents should take note of any suspicious activity in their neighborhood and call the Sheriff’s office or their local law enforcement, Branch said. They should also ask neighbors to watch over their homes while they’re away.
“They all need to be watching out for each other,” Branch said.
Anyone who noticed anything suspicious in these areas should call Crimestoppers at 526-5000 or the Sheriff’s office at 482-9648.
