The Batavia Police Department has recently been investigating a plethora of larcenies from vehicles in the city. These larcenies have been occurring mainly in the overnight hours, and from (unfortunately) unlocked motor vehicles.

Patrols remain vigilant in the overnight hours, and we are asking for assistance from the public in reducing the amount of these incidents.

Please remember:

1. ALWAYS lock your car doors.
2. Leave exterior lighting on if possible.
3. ALWAYS lock your car doors.
4. Remove valuables from your vehicle.
5. ALWAYS lock your car doors.

Theft prevention starts with you, and it starts before you even leave your vehicle.

As always, if you notice anything suspicious around your property, please do not hesitate to the contact the police department.
