**** Attention residents and members of our extended community****
There have again been several thefts of UNLOCKED High-End Motor vehicles with the KEYS left inside.
There is NO EXCUSE for leaving your vehicle unlocked with the keys inside. By doing so, YOU are creating an environment ripe for criminal activity and continuing to invite a very bad element into our community. These criminals are using your stolen vehicles to commit other crimes all over the state.
These criminals do not stop for law enforcement, are most likely operating a stolen vehicle, armed, and once approached they flee the area at extremely high rates of speed.
***They have no regard for the lives and safety of our officers, you, or your family***
This is PREVENTABLE by simply LOCKING your vehicles and removing the keys and key fobs. This is a simple task that will prevent you from becoming a victim and one of our officers from being injured. We need to work together to prevent our community from becoming a target for crime. These are crimes of opportunity and right now the criminals know that they can have their pick of a wide variety of high-end vehicles and our residents are accommodating enough to leave the keys inside for them.
Instructions:
Do your part and LOCK YOUR VEHICLES!
