Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Detective Sergeant Hayes at 734-354-3232.

The department is also sharing home security tips to help residents protect their properties:

• Treat your property like a burglar would. Check for easy access points such as unlocked doors, low windows, or shrubbery that could hide intruders.
• Keep valuables and electronics out of sight from windows.
• Trim shrubs and trees to eliminate hiding spots, especially near windows and upper floors.
• Use lighting strategically; well-lit homes are less likely to be targeted. Consider motion-activated or dusk-to-dawn exterior lights.
• Secure doors and windows, and lock all entry points including garage doors.
• Store valuables safely in a locked safe or lockbox.
• Use security technology like doorbell and exterior cameras to deter crime and provide evidence if needed.
• Stay alert and communicate with trusted neighbors, especially when away from home. Avoid sharing vacation plans publicly until you return.
