POLICE: Unlocked Vehicle Larcenies

The Front Royal Police Department would like to remind its citizens to never leave valuables in your vehicle and always make sure they are locked. Chief Magalis encourages citizens to not only lock their vehicle doors but to secure valuables out of sight. Things such as purses, wallets, laptops, and firearms should never be left inside of an unattended vehicle.

Citizens can help deter this preventable crime by simply locking car doors, taking valuables from their cars, and hiding valuables that can’t be removed from their car to avoid losing their property. Citizens should also take pictures and record serial numbers of electronics so if they are stolen, law enforcement can use the information to return recovered property to their rightful owners.

The community can help us investigate by reporting any suspicious activity. Please be extra vigilant and report anything suspicious that you see or hear.
