Brookhaven Police: Remove Your Valuables From Your Cars

BROOKHAVEN, GA — As a result of a recent rash of reported auto break-ins, Brookhaven police are asking for the public's help.

"Like law enforcement agencies across the country, Brookhaven Police officers are responding to record numbers of entering auto complaints," according to a post from the department's Facebook page. "In nearly ¾ of the incidents, the cars from which items were stolen were left unlocked. Similarly, there has been a notable increase in cars stolen with the keys – especially key fobs – still inside.

"BPD is working to reduce these offenses through directed and random patrols, saturation details, crime mapping, and collaboration with other jurisdictions. Its working; we arrested four offenders just last night," said the post, which appeared this past Tuesday. "But we need your help!!"

Here's the post, in its entirety.
