Notes from the Chief

Just a friendly reminder…please lock and/or secure your vehicles at all times, even when running into the store for a quick cup of coffee. 

Over the years, there have been several thefts from vehicles and most recently, a vehicle was stolen from Main Ave, running with the keys in it. Many have already heard the story, I’m sure. Astro/auto starts are a good deterrent, but make sure you don’t have any valuables or contraband in plain view.
