WATCH YOUR CAR PROGRAM

THIS FREE PROGRAM INCLUDES A DECAL ON YOUR CAR AND/OR

CAUSE BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 1AM TO 5 AM. THESE PROGRAMS ARE
RECONIZED NATIONWIDE.

Alert Title Burglary of Motor Vehicle straight to victim's house for Burglary
Alert Area Gold Hill Neighborhood West side
Alert Description Victims in two BMV cases this last weekend discovered that not only had their vehicles been broken into, but when they returned home, their homes had been burglarized. The suspect/s in these cases obtained house keys and papers from the involved vehicle indicating where the victim lives, then immediately goes to the victim's residence and burglarizes their home.
Crime prevention tip: Many suspects have confessed to the police that they will avoid locked vehicles and vehicles that do not have something of value in plain sight. Lock all valuables in your trunk, if possible.
Also, suspects in these types of crimes often work in teams, reporting the movements of victims via cell phone and/or text messaging. Be aware of your surroundings.

Alert Title Counterfeit currency
Alert Area Community Neighborhood Downtown area
Alert Description High grade counterfeit fifty (50) dollar bills are being passed in the downtown area. The involved suspects bleach out the ink on a lower denomination bill, then use that bill to prepare the counterfeit. One of the best ways to detect these counterfeit bills is to place the bill under an ultraviolet light at which time security threads will glow a certain color ($100 - red/pink; $50 - yellow; $20 - green; $10 - orange; $5 - blue).
