Mandurah's top detective is asking residents to be security conscious after a "concerning" number of burglaries were reported over the weekend - including two at retirement homes.
Mandurah Detective Senior Sergeant Trevor Troy said the retirement villages were located in Greenfields and Wannanup.
"We don't know if it's the same offender, or a coincidence," he said.
"They are getting over security fences and targeting back doors and windows."
It's a cause for concern in the Mandurah District.
