Word of Advice
Call the police if you see someone suspicious taking pictures of trailers or cars in your neighborhood, Sergeant Nisha King said. This kind of behavior is often followed by theft.
“We’d rather have you err on the side of caution in calling the police rather than having to try to track them down later,” King said.
Vehicle burglaries have also increased, King said. College students tend to leave apartments and vehicles unlocked, leading to higher rates of walk-in burglaries and vehicle theft.
“Please lock your cars and take anything of value out of your vehicle,” Sergeant King said. “And even when you’re home, keep your apartment locked. Crimes of opportunity happen more than people realize.”
