Three Homes Burglarized on the Same Block on the Same Day

Burglars hit four houses, one right after another, near the intersection of Chatham and Argyle Roads in Ardmore on Nov. 21, police said.

According to police, three of the homes were in the unit block of Chatham Road while the fourth house was in the 200 block of Argyle Road.

The owners of all four homes returned home around 9:15 p.m. on Nov. 21 to discover their homes in various states of disarray.

One of the owners on Chatham Road came home to discover the basement door broken in half.

Police believe that the burglar entered the home through the basement, and then kicked out the door leading out of the basement that the owner keeps locked with a deadbolt.

Entry was gained to the other homes through a forced open back door, a forced open front door and a pried open window.

Police said that at each home it appeared that the burglar went straight for the mater bedroom, and only two of the homes reported objects missing.

Police said that a $300 watch was taken from one of the homes, while a jewelry box was taken from another.
