GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) Greenwich police are urging residents to take precautions amid a series of burglaries in one of Connecticut's most affluent towns.

Police Lt. Kraig Gray says eight homes have been burglarized within the last month and four homes were hit over the last weekend.

Gray said Thursday that police have adjusted their patrol patterns to address the increase in burglaries, which have occurred during daylight hours and overnight.

Residents are urged to enlist neighbors to watch property when they go on vacation and give their homes a ``lived in'' appearance to make them less attractive targets.
