Burglaries on the rise in Kennewick
KENNEWICK -- The KEPR crime tracker spotted a continual rise in burglaries in Kennewick.
KEPR first reported the trend back in September. Since then there have been 25 more burglaries compared to the year before and 50 more than two years ago.
“I'd say it's a little worrisome, for some people definitely, exactly like I was saying with my buddy with kids,” said Taylor Feurborn, who had items stolen from his Kennewick home. “When your backyard can't be your own backyard and you can't have your own privacy in the neighborhood that you pay for, it's kind of frustrating.”
Even with a new high in 2011, the numbers have been on a steady decline since 2006.
