Mayor: Breaking and Entering Calls Down
Mayor Christenson says breaking and entering calls are down 75 percent from the spike earlier this month.
Home burglaries are markedly down after a string of breaking and entering calls prompted the city to issue a Code RED Alert to residents last week, advising them of the spike and urging them to take precautions.
Mayor Gary Christenson said that he was “very happy to report” the number of house breaks from two weeks ago dropped from 20 to five.
“Hats off to the Malden police department, as well as residents who have been working to give us information we need,” he said.
