The Trainer Borough Police Department is alerting residents to a recent increase in vehicle break-ins reported in our surrounding towns. As your safety is our top priority, we want to inform you of this trend and provide valuable tips to help prevent these crimes.

Vehicle break-ins can occur anywhere, at any time, and often result in stolen valuables and property damage. To protect yourself and your property, please follow these simple yet effective safety tips:

• Lock your vehicle doors: This may seem obvious, but it's essential to ensure your doors are locked every time you leave your vehicle, even if it's just for a quick errand.
• Keep valuables out of sight: Don't leave any valuable items such as purses, laptops, or phones in plain sight. This will make your vehicle a less appealing target for thieves.
• Park in well-lit areas: Whenever possible, park your vehicle in well-lit areas, especially at night. This can help deter potential thieves and make it easier to spot any suspicious activity.
• Don't keep spare keys in your vehicle: Thieves know to look for spare keys in obvious places like the glove compartment or under the floor mat. Keep your spare keys with you or in a safe location.
• Report suspicious activity: If you notice anyone or any vehicles suspiciously lurking around parked cars, report it to the police immediately.

By following these simple tips, you can significantly reduce the risk of your vehicle being broken into. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry. If you do become a victim of a vehicle break-in, please report it to the police as soon as possible.

Stay safe, and let's work together to prevent these crimes in our community!
