Sheriff warns residents of rural burglaries

In the last year, there have been four burglaries in Waseca County which have something in common.

“They all occurred in rural areas, and involved residents who were attending funerals at the time of the burglary,” said Waseca County Sheriff Brad Milbrath. “So far, it has been mostly cash and change which has been taken.”

The people responsible for the crimes are more than likely obtaining their information from obituaries for family members published in the local papers or on the Internet.

Sheriff Milbrath urges everyone living in the rural areas to be vigilant and to lock their doors.
