Local authorities are concerned about how brazen some criminals are becoming in Crittenden County and the expanding number of burglaries being reported. Deputy Don Perry said residents should be vigilant and call police as soon as they notice something suspicious in their community. A Frances woman was at home asleep the night of Dec. 15 when intruders entered her home and starting taking items outside. At some point, Deputy Ray Agent believes the burglaries were spooked off, perhaps when the elderly homeowner was awakened.
