Sanders warns of burglaries

Community Message from Garland County Sheriff Larry Sanders:

A rash of Breaking and Entering cases are surfacing once again in the Marion Anderson and Majestic Lodge Road areas, as well as sporadic areas throughout the County, where citizens are leaving their car doors unlocked and windows rolled down when unattended.

In nearly every case items such as laptops, music players, GPS's, wallets and other assorted valuables are being left in the vehicle, in plain site, and are being stolen.

Not only does the theft of electronics cause inconvenience, replacement cost concerns and headaches to the victim, items such as laptops, smart-phones and wallets also pose an even larger loss due to identity theft, fraudulent credit card charges and banking information being compromised.

I would like to remind everyone to be vigilant about removing valuables, rolling up your windows and locking your doors when leaving your vehicle unattended.
