Property Crimes Task Force Reminds Citizens to LOCK YOUR DOORS
June 15, 2018
The “Property Crimes Task Force,” comprised of the Tallahassee Police Department and the Leon County Sherriff’s Office, is currently investigating a string of auto burglaries and auto thefts, occurring within Leon County. Often times these auto burglaries and auto thefts are committed by criminals simply trying door handles, hoping for unlocked vehicles. It is an all too common problem that can be prevented by simply locking your doors. As a reminder never leave your keys and valuables in your vehicle, and park in well-lit and heavily traveled areas. Turn on any exterior residential/business lights during evening hours, and remember to LOCK YOUR DOORS. Citizens are encouraged to immediately call 911 if you see an auto burglary or theft in progress, and avoid confronting the suspect(s) due to some possibly being armed. Instead write down the description of the suspect(s) and or getaway vehicle tag number.
The “Property Crimes Task Force” is urging anyone who may have information about any auto burglaries or auto thefts to contact the Tallahassee Police Department at (850) 891-4200, or the Leon County Sherriff’s Office at (850) 606-3300. You may also provide information anonymously via Crime Stoppers at (850) 574-TIPS.
Thieves are opportunists. If they see an easy target, they will strike. Let's do our part to make it hard for them.
