This morning (September 11, 2022) both the Robeson Township Police and the Brecknock Township Police have received calls for service reporting theft from the inside of unlocked motor vehicles.  These thefts occurred last evening/early this morning along the 500 block of Kurtz Mill Road, Robeson Township.  Officers are currently investigating.  Please remember to keep your vehicles, sheds, and other buildings which may be on your property locked.

Here are a few tips to help prevent this from happening to you at your home or other locations.

• Do not leave valuables in your car. That sounds like common sense, but drivers/passengers do leave items of value in plain view every day. If you leave valuable items visible in your car, your car is automatically a target.
• If you must leave valuable items in your car while out and about, place items out of sight before reaching your destination or move them inconspicuously.
• Once home, unload your valuables immediately. Do not store valuables in your car any longer than necessary, and certainly never overnight.
• Try to park in busy, well-lighted areas, or in your garage (if you have one).
• Raise your windows and lock ALL of your vehicle’s doors even if you plan to be gone for only a brief time. Every week, items are stolen from unlocked vehicles where the owner expected to be away for “just a second.”
• Set any alarm or anti-theft device. If you have one, use it! Many people believe that car alarms no longer make a difference, but they can be an effective deterrent to an auto burglary.
• Don’t think your dark tinted windows will hide your valuables. Thieves often use flashlights to see through tint.
