"You got some desperate folks out there that will break in and steal at any given opportunity," Fayetteville Police Chief Tom Bergamine said.
On Wednesday, Chief Bergamine, his officers and detectives met with residents to talk about how to prevent the crimes.
"We are generally working hard on some initiatives to keep repeat offenders in and the others," Bergamine said. "This is prevention education and community involvement."
Authorities are also recommending residents consider a community watch program in their area.
