Burglaries Spreading Into Lake Worth's Finer Neighborhoods

People who live on Lakeside Drive and Palmway have felt secure in the knowledge that criminals don't go that far east. Not burglars, anyway. Well, that's no longer the case. A home on the 300 block of South Lakeside Drive was burglarized on Friday night a little after 9 p.m. See the crime blotter at right.

The initial crime report does not give the exact address, say whether someone was home or not or list what was taken. The Lake Worth Sun will work to get more information from the PBSO at the start of this week.

Burglaries seem to be taking place now in almost all neighborhoods of Lake Worth. On Friday afternoon, a home on the 500 block of North L Street was burglarized, and on Thursday, a home on 18th Avenue North, a home on Barber Drive (off 6th Avenue South) and a home on North D Street were all burglarized.
