Brownwood Police officers responded to approximately 15 reports of vehicle burglaries on Saturday in the south Brownwood neighborhoods of Crestridge Drive and Surry Lane, according to Brownwood Assistant Chief of Police James Fuller. Items stolen included purses, a laptop computer, cell phones and accessories, and a .22 caliber pistol, said Fuller.
He explained that all of the burglaries involved unlocked vehicles. He said that it is best to just get into the habit of locking doors when getting out of a vehicle.
“Value your property, take it inside,” suggested Fuller. “You’d like to think that society was at a place where you could leave doors unlocked but that is just not the case.”
Citizens are reminded to keep their cars, homes and storage areas locked to protect their possessions. Remove valuable items from cars or keep them out of plain sight even when the vehicle is locked suggest law enforcement officials.Other unrelated law enforcement arrests and reports released Monday, August 10, 2015.
