Crime Alert - Theft from Vehicles

Since July 11, 2008 there have been at least twenty-two theft from vehicle calls answered. The areas specifically hit have been Gorden Farms Apartments, Dublin Village Apartments, Hemingway Village and Earlington Village. 

The majority of vehicles entered have been unlocked, and the majority of time frames given have been from late evenings to mornings. Stereos have been taken in a number of the thefts, as well as anything else small and portable.

We are asking residents to do the following:

1. Please remove all valuables (i.e. cell phones, sunglasses, GPS, cash, change, purse, wallet, checkbook, etc.) from your vehicles; valuables left in an unattended vehicle are an invitation or opportunity for crime.

2. Please lock your vehicles; the vast majority of these thefts have involved unlocked vehicles where the criminal has walked up and simply opened the vehicle door.

3. Please close your overhead garage doors at night, closing your garage door ensures your valuables are safe and it keeps the criminal from having easy access to your home.

4. If you witness a crime or if you see or hear something suspicious, please call the Dublin Division of Police immediately at 889-1112.

If you do have information regarding these thefts please contact the Dublin Division of Police at 889-1112. By working together in partnership, we can make a difference. Thank You.
