Seasonal Crime Prevention: Lock Up and Stay Aware

With the holiday season in full swing, local deputies are urging residents to stay vigilant—especially when it comes to vehicle and shopping safety. A few reminders from the Constable’s Office:

• Always lock your car doors.
• Don’t leave valuables, gifts, or keys inside your vehicle—especially in plain view.
• Tinted windows may not be enough to discourage theft.
• If shopping alone and feeling unsafe, many malls now offer security escorts.

As the report highlights, simple actions like securing vehicles and being aware of surroundings can go a long way in preventing crimes of opportunity during this busy time of year.
