Crime: Man Exposes Self at Ralphs, Rash of Burglaries

By Jessica Burger

Crimes reported to the Fountain Valley Police Department over the past week include five burglaries -- three residential and two commercial.

Sgt. Kurt Ulrich said residents should be careful to keep doors and, especially, windows locked. 

“Don’t leave windows unlocked or opened. That is a common means of entry,” said Ulrich. “People walk around and look for access.” 

Other tips to keep your home and valuables safe: Watch out for your neighbors and don’t forget to lock your car—or your garage. 

“As a neighbor, keep an eye on your neighborhood,” he said.

In addition to burglaries, Fountain Valley police responded to reports of theft, battery and indecent exposure.
