Alaska State Troopers are warning Kodiak residents after receiving reports of burglaries, trespassing and theft.
During the past week, troopers say residents are returning to their homes to find their residences have been unlawfully entered, according to an online AST dispatch posted Wednesday.
Various items such as women’s underwear have been stolen and/or rifled through in Kodiak residences, troopers say.
AST believes the string of recent incidents are related and, after further investigation, have been notified of similar events over the past few months. Those incidents, however, were not reported to authorities.
Troopers have asked the public not to leave their homes unsecured and to be aware of their surroundings. They are also asking residents to report all suspicious activity.
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding these cases, or similar activity, is asked to call AST at 486-4121.
