The North Arlington Police Department reminds residents to take a few simple precautions to help prevent vehicle thefts and break-ins. These incidents are often crimes of opportunity, and small actions can make a big difference in keeping your vehicle and our community safe.

Please remember these important tips every time you leave your vehicle:

• Lock your car doors. Even short stops can provide an opportunity for theft.
• Take your key fob with you. Never leave it inside or near your vehicle.
• Do not leave your car running unattended. Running vehicles are a common target for thieves.

Just a few seconds can significantly reduce the risk of theft and help protect your property.

If you observe suspicious activity, please report it immediately:
