The Westminster Police Department would like to inform you of a burglary trend happening across the metro area. This trend has recently impacted our community with multiple small business & home burglaries. The individuals committing these crimes are known to follow small business owners home from work & burglarize their homes while they are away. In some cases, these suspects will place trackers on victims’ vehicles and/or monitor victims’ homes with hidden surveillance cameras (picture included below for reference). If you find a suspicious device, do not handle. Please contact your non-emergency dispatch.
Attention Westminster Residents: A countywide test of LookoutAlert will be conducted on Wednesday, July 24 at 10 a.m. Residents already signed up for LookoutAlert should receive a notification. WPD encourages all residents to sign up for LookoutAlert to receive community-wide alerts and critical information in a timely manner.
