In the last couple of months, we have seen the number of burglaries from vehicles increase across the city. In the majority of these crimes, cars are left unlocked, but we are also seeing forced entries when valuables are left out in plain sight. It just takes a matter of seconds for a thief to shatter a window, grab your property and disappear.
Remember to take a minute to remove your valuables, roll up your windows & lock your doors- every time you park.
Back in 2011, the NBPD released a video entitled "Lock It or Lose It". The cost figures have become a bit outdated in the past eight years, but the message is still very applicable. If you haven’t seen the “Lock It or Lose It” video or just want to watch it again, you can do so here:

Thank you for partnering with the police department to help keep our city safe!
