SANATOGA PA – The public service promotional slogan that advises drivers to “Lock Your Car. Take Your Keys” has renewed significance in Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township.
Township police say they are continuing to investigate a series of reported thefts and attempted thefts, all said to have been committed on unlocked vehicles and alleged to have occurred during overnight hours last Monday and Tuesday (Dec. 4-5, 2011). The department said it received more than 10 reports of such incidents during that period on streets across several residential areas.
The alleged thefts are similar to others experienced during the past month, police added. Cash, electronic equipment and various other items were reported to have been taken.
The department has asked for public help regarding the thefts. They encourage residents to call Lower Pottsgrove police at 610-326-1508 “anytime they see or hear something suspicious in their neighborhood,” and it urged them to lock their vehicles when not in use.
