In a program aimed at reducing that figure, the Cherry Hill Police Department is making the public aware of our campaign called “Lock It or Lose It.” The message is clear: Everyone is strongly advised to lock their cars and remove any valuables each time they exit their vehicle – even if parked in the household driveway, and most certainly when in public parking lots. The vast majority of incidents involve unlocked vehicles and we are seeing sharp increases in thefts from vehicles parked at home. Since the start of 2011, there have been more than 300 reported incidents of items stolen from unlocked and locked vehicles.
Your belongings could be gone in seconds if the proper precautions aren’t taken. To report any suspicious activity please call Police Dispatch at (856) 665-1200.
