Lock your cars, please
PUTNAM — Sept. 5 the Putnam Police Department responded to reports of auto burglaries which occurred during the night before.
There was no forced entry; therefore, they were entered as the result of being left unlocked. The areas of Sabin Street and Woodstock Avenue were the targeted neighborhoods.
The Putnam Police Department is reminding residents to always lock their vehicles and remove the keys and other valuables from view inside of your vehicle or just take them into your home.
Police Chief Christopher D. Ferace said: “These were crimes of opportunity, and I cannot stress enough, if your take away the opportunity by locking your vehicles and removing your keys and other valuables, you minimize the chance of being victimized.”
Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in their neighborhood overnight last Tuesday and Wednesday or may have video footage is encouraged to contact the Putnam Police Department at (860)928-6565, use the anonymous tip line (860)963-0000 or email us at www.putnampolice.com
