The Smyrna Police Department reminds everyone to remove valuables from your car. Car burglars are breaking windows and stealing items that are in plain sight. Remember to park in a well lighted area, when not at home, or turn on an outside light when at home. These burglars rely on their ability to access a large number of vehicles while circulating through a neighborhood or parking lot. They are not afraid of making noise or video surveillance systems. Do not confront burglars, call the Police immediately.
The items most commonly taken are:
- Radar Detectors
- Cash
- Prescription Medications
- Firearms
In order to combat this increase in burglaries, we encourage residents to employ some basic preventative measures:
- Remove valuables from view
- Remove valuables from car
- Park in a well lighted area
- Turn on an outside light
Report any suspicious behavior to the Police.
