Over the past few days, there have been multiple car thefts reported both in Lakewood and Jackson, TLS has learned.

In several instances, key fobs were reportedly left inside a vehicle, making it an easy target for thieves.

“Residents should make an effort to remind themselves to always remove valuables from their vehicles, lock doors, and never leave key fobs inside,” Police Chief Greg Meyer says. “Leaving these items inside your vehicle is candy for thieves.”

With many taking vacations in the Summer, Chief Meyer also reminds residents to report suspicious activity they may witness at a neighbor’s home.
