Wednesday marked the official start of summer but for many Sedalia residents summer starts with the opening of Liberty and Centennial pools. Unfortunately, summer also marks an uptick in valuables being left unattended while owners swim.
According to the Sedalia Police Department, while there’s no record of how many cellphones are stolen during the summer season, there is an increase mostly due to people leaving phones in shoes or underneath towels at pools.
