AMARILLO, TEXAS -- APD gave us their weekly burglary numbers, and there is good news--there were fewer last week than the week before.

Those weekly figures fell dramatically from 33 to just 13.

But our average weekly burglary incidence is up a bit from last year, to 11.5 percent.

Sergeant Brent Barbee says police are stepping up patrols, and because of that several people are in jail

Plus Barbee says, you can help -- if you see something suspicious, don't hesitate to call police.
