Public Service Announcement: VEHICLE THEFT ALERT

We are issuing an important alert to residents about a series of vehicle thefts currently targeting the Pinnacle Ridge, German Village, and Wright Landing neighborhoods. These thefts are occurring during the early morning hours, typically between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM.

Suspects’ Behavior:

The suspects arrive in the area by vehicle, driving slowly through neighborhoods while checking parked cars.

It is common to see 3 to 4 suspects checking vehicles at a time.

The suspects are concealing their identities by wearing face coverings or pulling hooded sweatshirts tightly over their faces.

Vehicle Theft Prevention Tips:

Lock your doors: Ensure all doors and windows are securely closed.
Turn on exterior lighting: Park in well-lit areas or install outdoor lighting to deter theft.

Remove valuables: Don’t leave any items or valuables visible inside your vehicle.

Use anti-theft devices: Consider using anti-theft steering wheel locks or other visible security devices.

While these neighborhoods are being specifically targeted, we encourage all residents to take the same precautions. A common myth we hear is, "I'll leave my car unlocked so they don't break my window." However, current trends show that if these suspects find a locked vehicle, they will quickly move on to another target. They are not breaking windows to gain entry.

What to Do If You See Suspicious Activity: If you see any suspicious vehicles driving slowly through your neighborhood or groups of people wandering around at night, please contact us immediately.
