Warren Police Urge Residents and Businesses to Lock Up

Warren Interim Police Chief Shawn Hildreth is encouraging every resident and business owner in the city to lock their homes, businesses and storage buildings, especially when not present.  He indicated that a large number of the cases being investigated by the department for theft of property took place when the items stolen were easy to get to in unlocked homes, businesses and storage buildings.  Vehicles should also be kept locked and valuable items should not be left in plain sight.

Stealing becomes more prevalent during the holidays but can happen at any time.  It is important not to make it easy for thieves to just pick items up and run away.  Make your home, business and storage buildings secure and keep them locked.  Good lighting can also help.

Anyone with a question should call the Warren Police Department at 226-3703.
