With school out this week for most districts and the weather finally turned, local authorities say it is important as ever to be mindful of the security of your vehicles and homes. 

 

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says his department is in the midst of the time of year when vehicle burglaries are on the rise and also from time to time, see the entry of garages to gain access to vehicles.

 

 

The Chief also reminds residents there will be an increase in kids out on city sidewalks and roadways as they will be out of school through the day. Additionally, Lowers says to keep dogs on a leash at all times.

 

 

Monticello Police Chief John Carter says they typically see an increase in car burglaries after school has let out for the summer. He encourages residents in his community to lock their vehicle doors and make sure their garages are locked as well.

 

 

Chief Carter encourages motorists to be on alert for kids outside playing and be mindful of what is going on around you.
