How To Prevent Theft

Police remind all of us to slow down when exiting our vehicles and to make sure all doors are locked before walking away. In addition to locking your vehicle, police encourage you to never leave anything valuable in your car or truck, and never leave anything in plain sight that may tempt a would-be thief to break into your vehicle.

If possible, remember to always park in a well-lit area, as light can sometimes deter crime.

Remember, never leave anything valuable in your vehicle. Thieves often look for items like guns and phones to sell on the streets for profit.
