DeFuniak Burglaries

The DeFuniak Springs Police have responded to three separate burglaries over the past two days. 

All of these burglaries have involved forced entries into residences.  In all three cases the victims were not at home at the time of the incident and the suspect had ample time to go through the homes and take the things that they wanted. 

Items taken have been identified as jewelry, bottles of alcoholic beverages, a lap top computer, and over $300.00 in quarters and other small change. 

One witness noticed a presumed male person of undetermined race, slender built, about 5’10” or taller, in one of the homes but did not suspect anything until after finding out that the home had been hit. 

All of these incidents have occurred within a four to five block area on the south side of Lake DeFuniak.  All residents in that area are ask to make sure that their homes are secure when leaving and to notify the DeFuniak Springs Police if they spot anyone suspicious in the neighborhood. 

If anyone has any information concerning these cases, or have witnessed anyone buying an item at any store with numerous quarters in the past two days, please call the DeFuniak Springs Police at 892-8511 or Crimestoppers at 877-718-TIPS.  We need the public’s help to put an end to this criminal activity.
