The Orangetown Police Department reminds residents to take a few simple precautions each night to help prevent thefts from vehicles:

• Lock all vehicle doors and close every window.
• Remove valuables, including wallets, purses, electronics, tools, packages, and shopping bags.
• Never leave keys or key fobs inside your vehicle.
• Consider installing exterior proximity lights and security cameras.
• Lock the doors connecting your garage to your home.
• Do not leave your vehicle running or unattended.



Many larcenies from a vehicle are crimes of opportunity. Thieves often walk through neighborhoods checking for unlocked doors. Even when nothing valuable is visible, an unlocked vehicle can become an easy target.



If a neighborhood becomes known as a place where vehicles are frequently left unlocked, it may attract individuals from outside the area who are looking for easy opportunities. By consistently locking our vehicles, removing valuables, and looking out for one another, we can help make our community a less attractive target.

Please remain alert and report suspicious activity. Do not confront suspicious individuals. For non-emergency assistance, contact the Orangetown Police Department at 845-359-3700.

Take it. Lock it. Protect it.
