Boston police are warning residents of several break-ins in Brighton and Allston.
According to police, detectives assigned to District D-14 (Brighton/Allston) have responded to multiple calls for residential break-in incidents in the area.
The break-ins occurred in the area of Washington Street, Kirkwood Road, Radnor Road, Gerald Road, Foster Street, Commonwealth Avenue and Murdock Street.
Police say the incidents appear to have occurred between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. and most appear to involve one person entering through an unsecured door, or window, or by removing an air condition unit.

Police also recommend taking all valuable items home with you.
