nuary 14th and one the night of Tuesday, January 13th. All of the burglari=
es occurred in western Dane County, to include the towns of Dane, Middleton=
, Cross Plains, and Oregon.
The Sheriff's Office is asking for citizens to be vigilant in watching neig=
hborhood activity and to report anything suspicious immediately by calling =

uable to law enforcement. Anyone with information related to these crimes =

ay be selling or pawning large amounts of coins or jewelry consistently. T=
