by | Jan 29, 2018 | Police and Fire

From Fredericksburg Police Department

Over the weekend, there were several larcenies from vehicles, several of which occurred in the Village of Idlewild and the Apartments at Cobblestone Square. The Fredericksburg Police Department would like to remind everyone to:

• Keep your vehicle locked at all times. Unlocked vehicles are easy targets for criminals

• Never leave valuables, such as purses, laptop computers, portable music players or cash in your vehicle. If you must keep important items or purchases in your vehicle, place them in the trunk or completely out of view

• Do not leave book bags, gym bags or luggage in view as criminals assume they contain valuables

• File a police report if items are stolen from your vehicle! Stolen items are often recovered and are returned to their owner. However, if stolen items are not reported to the police, there is no way for items to be returned to their owner. If an item is stolen from you in the City of Fredericksburg, call our non-emergency line at 540-373-3122
