PWPD: Protect Your Property, Lock Your Car Doors

Recently, Port Washington Police have taken reports from residents who have had property taken from their vehicles during night time hours.

Port Washington Police Chief James Salerno is reminding residents to protect their property:

Some crimes are difficult to prevent, but one crime that residents can help prevent is property theft which happens largely from unlocked automobiles, Salerno said Thursday.

Protect yourself by always locking your car, even in your driveway, and never leave your pocketbook, wallet, keys, and electronic devices visible from outside the car.

If you see suspicious activity, dial 911.
