Edmonds PD is warning citizens
about a car prowl spree that occurred early Monday morning. They broke into
several cars in a three block area on 220th St SW between 84th
Ave W and 87th Ave W.
Windows were broken and the thieves
took valuables that were visible in the car. Also, several cars were unlocked,
making even easier for the thieves to steal from the cars. Edmonds PD notes
that so far this year, three quarters of car prowls involved unlocked cars.
Note: For several years now, local
police agencies have been advising their citizens to keep nothing visible in
their cars and to keep their cars locked. It’s too easy for car prowlers to
open an unlocked vehicle or to break a window, reach in to pick up what they
see, and be gone. And the Cops mean keep nothing visible. Even an empty bag can
spark the interest of a car prowler.
