Police Urge Residents to be Vigilant Against Car Burglars

Although two people were recently arrested in connection with a rash of car burglaries, the Smithville Police Department is still receiving reports of vehicle burglaries.
Captain Steven Leffew encourages people to lock their vehicle doors. “It appears that unlocked vehicles are being targeted. We would also encourage citizens not to leave valuables such as purses, wallets or purchases in plain sight as this may encourage thefts,” he said.
