Crime Prevention Tips (Theft Of Valuables From Vehicles) The Stratford Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit wants our residents to be aware that motor vehicles can and are being broken into in Town. Although the majority of theses incidents occur in parking lots, they can and do occur to vehicles parked along the roadside in both business and residential areas. Operators of vehicles occasionally leave their personal valuables locked inside the passenger compartment of their car. Thieves can easily break into these cars and steal easily removable items, or items left in plain view, such as wallets, purses, laptop computers, and GPS units. GPS units and satellite radio units are especially targeted by thieves. If you have to leave valuable items in your vehicle, we urge residents to leave their valuable items locked in the trunk of their vehicles, where they will not be visible to a would-be thief. The best place to leave valuable items is always your home or business, especially during the overnight hours. Whenever possible, remember to park your vehicle in a well-lit area, and as close to the front of a building as practical. All of our citizens are urged to be aware of any unusual or out of place activity, and to please call the Stratford Police Department immediately if you see any suspicious activity in our community. The Stratford Police Department relies on residents to help prevent criminal activity in all of our neighborhoods. If you witness criminal activity in progress please call 911 as soon as possible. The sooner you call, the sooner we can respond to your call. |
