 **** Community Awareness:

**** We would like to remind everyone to please remember to secure your vehicles and remove valuables from vehicles that are being parked. Take note that many newer vehicles have key fobs that auto unlock your car doors when you are in a certain range, please keep this in mind when parking your vehicle and ensure those key fobs are stored far enough away when not in use so that your vehicles remain locked.  Doing these simple things will help minimize the chances of you becoming a victim of this type of theft. Most actors in these cases are looking for unlocked vehicles/quick easy targets that they can get in and out fast. Many times the actors will walk around a complex or neighborhood trying door handles on vehicles looking for unlocked ones. These types of crimes tend to increase with the nicer weather but recently we had multiple incidents reported which police are investigating. If you happen to see suspicious or illegal behavior occurring, it is always best to call to have an officer dispatched to check the area as soon as possible.  Call 215-672-1000 (Non Emergency Dispatch) or 911 for emergencies. 

**** Making a Police Report or Speaking with an Officer Involving an Incident:
