 PRESS RELEASE       

 

Burglaries and Thefts

 

 

Date:  Tuesday, January 31, 2012                   

The Nevada Police Department would like to remind businesses and citizens alike to be proactive in safeguarding your property and possessions.  Business owners/managers, check the status of your alarms to be sure that they are working properly, and activated for the appropriate times.  Within the last few months, Nevada has had a rash of burglaries to residential property as well as business property.

 

We are urging residents to be alert and monitor suspicious activity happening within your neighborhood and community. If you notice people, noises or activity that seem out of place, call the Nevada Police Department’s 24-hour phone number immediately day or night at 515-382-4305.  As always, remain cautious of persons in your neighborhood you have never seen before or individuals acting suspicious.

 

Do not ever leave keys in your vehicles whether at home in the garage, on the farm, outside a business, or inside your business.  It may be an inconvenience to take the keys with you, but so is the filing of a police report and the replacement of the stolen property.  Do not leave doors, windows or garages unlocked, as this is an easily accessible way of entering a property including vehicles.

 

Case your home, business, and vehicles like a burglar might and look for easy entrance points.  With your vehicles, try to remove valuable items out of temptations view. Never hide your keys outside the property or on your vehicle.  Do not allow trees and shrubs to conceal doors or windows.  Never use social media to announce you will be away from your property for vacations or extended periods.

 

If you have questions or information, please contact the Nevada Police Department at 515-382-4305.
