LARCENIES FROM VEHICLES

Most vehicle breaking and entering cases involve vehicles that are unlocked and have valuables in plain sight. You can help prevent this type of crime by applying simple crime prevention tips.
• Vehicle windows should be closed and doors should be locked at all times.
• Keys should not be left in the vehicle.
• Use an alarm if your vehicle is equipped with one.
• Valuables should not be left in the vehicle, especially in clear view. Items such as wallets, money, phones, handbags, CDs, laptops, gym bags, bank envelopes, electronic items and firearms should be removed from the vehicle.
• Park in an area with good lighting.
• When parking in a shopping center, movie theater, or recreational center parking lot, secure all valuables out of plain sight and lock all windows and doors.
• Report suspicious activity immediately. This includes suspicious persons and vehicles in the area. Try to have a good physical description and car description/registration number to report to police when you call.
