Lock Your Car Because There’s Been a Rash of Car Burglaries in Scarborough
A warning from our local heroes at the Scarborough Police Department:
"We've had some Motor Vehicle Burglaries occurring during the overnight hours with unlocked vehicles. Cash, credit cards, and jewelry have been stolen."
The police department urges people to lock their vehicles.
They added that "Most thieves will not go through the effort of breaking into locked cars unless they see something of potential value, like a purse, wallet, or electronics for example. These are crimes of opportunity, don't make it easy for thieves to steal from you."
Here's a list of break-ins from just the past few days. Let's be careful out there Scarborough!
