Remember to Lock Your Car Doors
The Gloucester Township Police Community Relations Bureau wants to remind residents to lock the doors on their vehicles. Between the months of June and October 2011 there have been approximately 102 reported incidents of thefts from motor vehicles. Out of those 102 incidents only 5 were with forced entry.
That means over 95% of thefts occurring from vehicles were from unlocked vehicles. Residents must make it a priority to always lock the doors to your vehicles and residences.
Please report any suspicious activity to the Gloucester Township Police Department by calling 228-4500 or if its an emergency, 911. Residents are encouraged to become involved the Neighborhood Watch program. The Neighborhood Watch Program encourages residents to become more aware of activities around them as they go about their normal routines and to act as EYES & EARS of the police department. If reporting suspicious activity please be as descriptive as possible. The description of the subject, location or direction of travel and tag on a motor vehicle is extremely helpful. Please do not put yourself in any danger.
If you have any questions please contact Sgt. Barton or Cpl. Grannan at 228-4011 or email communityrelations@gtpolice.com.
