Multiple vehicle break-ins reported at Dublin Park
MADISON – If you plan to brave the heat and enjoy one of Madison’s beautiful parks and greenways, there is something you should do before you even leave the house — take any valuables you have in your vehicle and leave them at home.
The Madison Police Department says they have received multiple reports of car break-ins at Dublin Park and Kids Kingdom. “Please remember to lock your car doors, and place valuables out of sight, lock them in the trunk, or leave them at home,” said MPD Community Relations Officer Teresa Taylor-Duncan.
Residents can help reduce the chances of becoming a victim of this crime by following a few basic tips:
* Be sure to remove all valuables before leaving your vehicle.
* Lock your vehicle
* Activate your vehicle alarm (if available).
* Park vehicles in a lighted area.
Officers said to report any break-in, even if nothing is missing or broken. Entering someone’s vehicle is still a crime.
