Police Warn Residents Of An Increase Of Auto Thefts
Keep your family safe, it really just takes common sense. Car break-ins and auto theft may have peaked over the holidays, local authorities are offering some sound advice on how you can avoid becoming a victim.
Over the past couple of months the Duluth Police Department has seen an increase in auto

parking and exiting your vehicle:
Always take your key, don’t leave it in or on your vehicle.
Always close and lock all windows and doors when you park.
Park in well-lit areas.
Always keep you vehicle in your garage, if possible.
Never leave valuables in your vehicle, especially where they can be seen.
