  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.
