Vehicle burglaries and stolen vehicles are on the rise again! This week, the Brooklawn Police Department investigated multiple vehicle burglaries. All the vehicles were left unlocked.
AS A REMINDER:
Criminals look for easy targets. You can make it more difficult for them by following the 9PM routine of locking all vehicles! Many vehicle burglaries occur as a result of vehicles being left unlocked.
In many instances, we have found that criminals are walking/driving through neighborhoods, trying vehicle door handles, hoping to find an unlocked vehicle. Many times, these criminals will try to access every vehicle in a neighborhood. The best way to prevent vehicle burglaries is to remove all of your valuables, lock your vehicle’s doors upon exiting, and take the keys to the vehicle inside your residence.
If you see suspicious persons, suspicious cars, or suspicious activity: CALL 911 immediately!
Help us keep our community safe by making these simple steps part of your evening routine. Together, we can prevent crime and ensure a safer Brooklawn.
PLEASE LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS!!!!!!!
