Notice from the police sent along by Frank C.
We wanted to post an important reminder about parking areas. There have been several recent car prowl related arrests that have occurred in secured parking areas. Just this morning, East Precinct Patrol Officers arrested a car prowl suspect who had followed another car into a secured parking garage. This is commonly referred to as “tailgating”.
Please, please be sure to keep your eyes open for any car that may be trying to follow or “tailgate” you into any secured parking lot or garage. Please always be sure to check that a door or gate has closed behind you after entering or exiting any secured parking area, and if you see something suspicious, call 911! As an added reminder, please also be sure to remove personal belongings from your unoccupied vehicles.
Enjoy the holiday season and take a little extra precaution so those amazing gifts make it under the Christmas tree! Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year friends!!
