Resident Alert
October 28th 2011
Sometime between 11:30p.m. Tuesday October 11th and 6:00am
Wednesday October 12th, four (4) vehicles were stolen from residents
in the city. In each case the vehicles were left unlocked and
the keys were left somewhere in the vehicle. Nothing has been
reported stolen from other vehicles in the area at this time.
It appears that the thieves are targeting cars that are left
unlocked. Then they are specifically looking for keys in the
vehicle in order to steal the cars.
To help combat the thefts, we are encouraging
people to lock their vehicles, remove any items of value from
the car and do not leave any keys in the car. Also turn any exterior
house lights on in order to reduce the areas to hide and increase
visibility on the streets.
If the residents notice someone lurking around vehicles or
someone walking in the neighborhood at unusual hours of the night
or notice something that just seems out of place or odd, then
call the police at 9-1-1 or 859-292-3622 immediately to investigate.
Update: All four stolen vehicles were recovered
shortly after the thefts. Please continue to lock your cars and
keep valubles out of sight.
