MIDWEST CITY — People shouldn't hesitate to dial 911, police Chief Brandon Clabes said Wednesday.

Witnesses to a string of recent daylight burglaries throughout Midwest City have failed to call police while the burglaries were happening, the chief said.

“We are having eyewitnesses see these crimes happen, but no one is calling,” Clabes said. “We are doing our best, but it takes a partnership with the public to help stop this.”

In one case, witnesses watched as two suspects backed a truck into the driveway and ransacked the house for 30 minutes, taking the washer and dryer and even frozen food from the freezer, Clabes said.
