Lock Your Doors to Keep Burglars Away (Crime Stoppers Blog)

Burglars have told the police what they look for. Now the police are telling you.

Local law enforcement report that interviews with burglary suspects reveal that they target unlocked houses and cars and skip those that are locked.

Please always lock your doors no matter how long you will be gone. If you notice someone not locking their doors please share this information. Thank you.
