A police investigation into a series of daytime robberies continues as more break-ins have been reported.

Marlborough Police Detective Scott DeCiero, of the Community Services Bureau, said the investigation contunies into the daytime break-ins the department issued a press release about recently. At the time, police were investigating three to four break-ins that fit the description of other break-ins in surrounding communities.

Additional break-ins have occured in Marlborough, said DeCiero, but those are still under investigation. Part of that investigation will be to determine if there is a connection to the previous daytime break-ins, he said.

"It's impossible to say if they are connected," said DeCiero.

The robbers have been targeting small, easily carried items during the day while home owners are gone, say police. Marlborough Police Chief Mark Leonard encouraged residents to keep those items out of site and take steps to make a home appear occupied during the day.
