Beware: Vehicle Burglaries and Auto Thefts Rampant in NJ

As vehicle burglaries and motor vehicle thefts continue to increase across New Jersey, including here in Winslow Township, we want to remind residents to take a few simple steps before turning in for the night to help protect their property:

• Lock your vehicle 
• Remove valuables from plain sight 
• Take your keys and key fob
 • Secure your garage and exterior doors

Many vehicle burglaries occur simply because vehicles are left unlocked. Taking a moment to check before bed can go a long way in preventing theft.

If you see or hear anything suspicious, please contact the Winslow Township Police Department immediately. Call 911 for emergencies or suspicious activity in progress.
