(KAIR)--Public assistance is being sought by Doniphan County authorities following what's reported as several vehicles and detached buildings, in Troy, being burglarized this week.

According to a release from the Doniphan County Sheriff's Office, the crimes occurred during the early morning hours of Monday.

Now, the Sheriff's Office is requesting that anyone with a security camera, a video door bell system, or similar recording equipment, to check the footage captured between 2:30 and 5:30 Monday morning, in case suspicious activity was captured. Should that be the case, the Sheriff's Office asks to see that footage. It can be emailed to sheriff@doniphanso.org, while calls may be placed to 785-985-3711.

As the Sheriff's Office works leads in the burglaries, they are reminding the public to remember the phrase, "Lock It or Lose It."

The Sheriff's Office explains that most criminals seek the easiest targets, meaning unlocked doors on buildings or vehicles are an open invitation to a quick theft. That's why the word goes out to lock all doors, on all buildings and vehicles, and to remove any valuables from inside vehicles, especially those easily viewed from outside.
