SVPD PSA: Lock it or Lose it

With a recent increase in vehicle burglaries, the Sierra Vista Police Department reminds drivers to always lock their vehicles to avoid a common crime of opportunity prevalent during the holiday season.

SVPD saw an increase in vehicle burglaries in November, with eight reported in a single day on Sunday, Nov. 26. All eight of these cases had one thing in common: the vehicles were unlocked when the crime occurred. Victims reported losing items like bank cards, medication, personal items, and guns.

“It’s common for burglars to check door handles while passing through an area and steal anything they can from vehicles that happen to be unlocked,” SVPD Public Information Officer Cpl. Scott Borgstadt says. “Don’t make a burglar’s day easy. Lock your doors and report any suspicious activity in your neighborhood.”

During the holiday season, when people are out buying more items, these burglaries of opportunity become more common. SVPD also recommends keeping any valuable items in a vehicle out of view to discourage break-ins.
