Redmond
Police Department Alert on Vehicle Prowls
Posted 3/4/2009
Redmond Safety Alert# 14353, Location:98052, 98053,
General Information
From Dec 29 - Feb 23, we've had
approximately 120 vehicle prowls. This was a growing problem
last year and it continues to be this year, not just for
Redmond, but for many surrounding areas. These mostly occur in
large parking areas, but some occur in residential areas. Most
occur in apartment complexes, gyms, grocery stores, restaurants,
condos, churches, parking garages, shopping areas, parks, pools,
and other areas where a prowler can search several vehicles in a
small area.
Be sure to lock all doors, windows, lockers,
and garages, and remove any valuable items that may be of use no
matter how long you are parked or where you are parked: home,
work, gym, store, etc.
Most items stolen from vehicles
include: GPS units, GPS holders, credit cards, wallets, purses,
cash, cell phones, cell phone chargers, tools, cosmetics,
computers, bags, stereos, digital cameras, clothes, CDs, etc. As
you can see all of these are preventable except for stereos if
they aren't removable.
Please be on the lookout for any
suspicious people in your neighborhood and out in public hanging
around looking in several vehicles. If you notice or hear
anything suspicious, please call 911 immediately. It's very
difficult to catch prowlers because they happen in a matter of
seconds. Don't react. Instead, observe and report license plate,
car, direction of travel, clothes worn, etc. The more info the
better.
