The Tullytown Borough Police Department is issuing a reminder, through their Facebook page, to all residents concerning an increase in thefts from motor vehicles. Over the past month, the Police Department is investigating multiple thefts from vehicles at Creek Village Apartment Complex. In these instances, the vehicles were left unsecured.

The actors are targeting unlocked motor vehicles and stealing items inside.

Safety Tips to Prevent thefts from motor vehicles.

1. Always remove your keys: Never leave your keys in the ignition, even for just brief amounts of time. Always take your keys with you and ensure you lock the vehicle. Never leave a spare key inside of your vehicle.

2. Lock your doors: Ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when your vehicle is unattended, regardless of where you park.

3. Do not leave valuables in plain sight: Remove any valuable items from your car or place them out of sight to reduce the temptation for thieves.
