Auto Burglaries on Adams Street

On Friday, May 4th, there were three (3) auto burglaries in the 400 block of Adams Street . Due to the location, proximity and time period - we believe these offenses were committed by the same perpetrator. The other common trait to these offenses was that all three vehicles were left unlocked and unsecured. While nothing was stolen from any of the vehicles except an umbrella, neighbors need to employ some common sense practices with regard to crime prevention. They include…

1. Lock your car. It sound simple, but many people forget to secure their vehicles.
2. Never leave valuables in your car unattended - particularly electronic goods such as cellular telephones and laptop computers.
3. Try to park in well lighted areas or in your driveway.
4. Report any suspicious persons or activities you see in your neighborhood by calling 821-2222. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.
