Stay Alert! Nearby towns are reporting smash & grab car burglaries! Remove all valuables from your cars & lock them!
<p>The Montgomery Police Departement would like to remind EVERYONE to never leave items of value in their cars and especially not in plain view! Nearby agencies have recently reported the possibility that the Felony Lane Gang has returned to commit car burglaries. They're known for breaking into women's cars parked at health clubs and daycares. The offenders typically drive rental cars with out of state plates. Once they've stolen a purse or wallet with identifying information, they often go withdrawal money from your very own bank account! They act fast, we must be aware. Please, even if you are just going in to workout for 45 minutes, do NOT leave your purse or wallet with bank cards & personal identifying information in your car. </p>
<p>If you are going to drop off your child at daycare and will only be in there 5 minutes, TAKE YOUR PURSE with you. </p>
<p>As always, we strongly encourage any suspicious activity to be reported to the police <strong>(not via Facebook or social media)</strong>, so that the police may respond approrpiately! Call 911 in the event of any emergency or the non-emergency line to reach the Montgomery Police Dispatch (KenCom) at 630-553-0554. </p>
