In recent weeks, Upper Moreland Township has experienced an uptick in thefts from vehicles. Thefts have been reported in multiple neighborhoods throughout the township.
Traditionally, the thefts are concentrated in one neighborhood, in a short amount of time during overnight hours, and in large numbers. The thieves target UNLOCKED VEHICLES.
Do not fall victim to this crime of opportunity!
1. Lock your car doors every night.
2. Remove valuables from your vehicles all the time. Thieves look for what they can easily grab. They also know to look through center consoles and glove compartments for money, credit cards, phones and other valuables.
3. Park your vehicle in the garage if possible. If not, park under a street light or consider installing motion sensor lighting for the area over your vehicles.
4. If you see something or someone suspicious during the overnight hours, CALL 911!
