Norwalk PD Urges Residents To Lock Cars Following Rash Of Thefts

NORWALK, CT — Norwalk police officials are urging residents to lock their vehicles following a spate of vehicle thefts in recent weeks.

Lt. Jared Zwickler told Patch that the thefts have not been from a specific part of Norwalk but from various parts of the city. He did not disclose how many vehicles had been stolen.

"We have found that many of the vehicles were unlocked or had the keys in them," Zwickler said. "We encourage residents to lock their cars, not leave keys inside, and not leave other items like key-fobs inside."

The department also wrote about the problem on its Twitter page, adding that "an engaged community is a safe community."
