Special Attention:
Larceny of Packages that were ordered and
delivered via Common Carrier.
How to prevent this from happening to you!
Recently several citizens have had packages that
were delivered to their residences and apartments
stolen prior to them retrieving the packages.
Citizens can prevent this from happening by
scheduling a specific time to have the package
delivered and be waiting for the package.
Citizen can also schedule the package to be picked
up by themselves at the common carrier facility.
Special Attention: Larceny from Vehicles
How to prevent this from happening to you!

-Citizens should never leave anything of value inside
their vehicle. (Especially Handguns, Purses, Wallets,
Cash & Cell Phones!)

- If you have a garage you should park your vehicle in
the garage and lock the garage.

- Wheel Locks are a deterrent but don’t leave the
wheel lock key in the interior of your vehicle,
especially the center console or glove box. This is
the first place they will look for the wheel lock.

-After parking your vehicle turn your wheels all the
way to the right or the left. This will make it difficult
to get the lug nuts off the front wheels.

-If you don’t have a garage, try to park your vehicle
as close to your residence as possible.

-If you here any loud noises near where your vehicle
is parked, especially during the late night or early
morning hours, attempt to look outside without
alerting anyone and if someone is tampering with
your vehicle immediately call 911, (Do Not Approach
or Scare the Suspects Away) give Police Dispatchers
as much information about the suspect(s) and
suspect vehicles as you can. Stay on the phone with
Dispatchers until the Police arrive.

-Lots of lighting around the area(s) that you park
your vehicles is also very beneficial. Criminals don’t
like to work in well lighted areas. They prefer to work
in darkness because it’s difficult to see them.

-Citizens should always be mindful not to leave
anything of value in their vehicles. Especially wallets,
purses, cash, handguns, cell phones, laptops,
jewelry, or anything else of value. If you must leave
your handgun in your vehicle it should be kept in a
gun lock box that is bolted down in the trunk of the
vehicle. At the very least you should try to hide the
handgun somewhere that it would be difficult to
find. The first place that criminals will look is under
the front seat, in the center console or in the glove
box.
