Greenwich Police Lt. Gray said Greenwich has its share of burglaries, but that there is a high clearance rate on these crimes. “Take proactive steps to keeping safe,” he advised. “Use an alarm. Arrange for your neighbors to watch your house.” Gray said that dogs are a disincentive to burglars. “If you see suspicious activity, contact Greenwich Police and let us come and investigate.”
