SANTA ROSA BEACH - Several cars and homes have been burglarized in Driftwood Estates lately, according to the Walton County Sheriff's Office.
Residents are asked to take valuables from their vehicles, park either in a garage or in a well-lit area, and lock up, the Sheriff's Office urges.
Homeowners should keep valuables from plain view by drawing curtains or blinds, a Sheriff’s Office news release said. Any extra keys should be kept with a trusted person instead of being hidden outside.
People who notice suspicious activity should call 911 or the Sheriff's Office at 892-1111.
