Albany Police are investigating a series of burglaries in North Albany over the past two months.  Residents have reported 6 burglaries since March 21, 2010.

The majority of the burglaries are occurring during the daytime into early evening when the residents are not home.  The suspects are prying open doors or breaking rear windows in most instances to gain entry into the homes.
