Chief William Keane of the Warren Township Police Department has offered these tips to prevent residents from becoming the next victim of a car burglary:

• Purses/wallets, personal electronics, vehicle valet keys, sunglasses, credit cards, cash, checkbooks and cell phones should never be left inside your vehicle, especially in plain view. If you must leave such items in your vehicle we recommend you conceal and secure them properly, out of sight, in the trunk or rear cargo area. However we urge you not to leave them in the vehicle.
• Additionally, everyone should be aware that these vehicle burglaries often lead to other crimes such as fraud and identity theft. We suggest you limit the amount of personal information you keep in your vehicle on a daily basis.
