The Ambler Borough Police Department is currently investigating numerous car break ins. This has occurred not only in Ambler but all the surrounding municipalities. Please make sure your vehicles are locked and remove all valuable items. If you must leave your bags and purses in the car, please place them in the trunk out of view.

Also, thieves are using high tech methods to steal vehicles. They are using transmitters/ relay devices that send the information from the fob to another thief who uses the fobs information to gain access and start your vehicle. This is all happening while your car keys are still on your kitchen counter. 

Simple ways to protect your car from thieves and transmitters"

1). Do not leave your keys near doors or windows.

2). Purchase a Faraday bag online to store your keys while you are at home. This will block the thief from using the transmitter or relay device

2). If possible, turn off keyless entry to your vehicle

3). Use a steering wheel lock

4). Constantly update your vehicles software. 

5). If you see someone suspicious wandering around your neighborhood at night call the police when it's occurring not the next day.

The days of leaving homes and vehicles unlocked are no more. If you believe your vehicle was entered, please call the Ambler Borough Police Department.
