DON’T FORGET TO LOCK YOUR VEHICLE DOORS!

We are once again taking multiple reports of vehicles being entered during the overnight hours in Cherry Hill. Most vehicles hadsimple items, such as loose change, taken from them but the common denominator for most is that the vehicles were leftUNLOCKED. It is a crime of opportunity. Door handles are tried and if the car is locked they usually move on. If you see any suspicious persons or activity, please the non-emergency police dispatch number at(856) 665-1200.

·  Prevent your car from being broken into. Thefts from cars are most often crimes of opportunity in which a thief sees an easy target. Reduce the chances that a criminal will want to break into your vehicle by taking some of the following steps.

·  At home, park your car in a garage if you have one or in the driveway rather than on the street.

·  Use theft deterrent systems such as car alarms, wheel lock devices, kill switches, etc.

·  Always park in well-lit areas. Keep exterior lights on at your residence, whether you are home or not home.

·  Remove all loose items of value such as loose change, cell phones, laptops or tablets, jewelry, etc. from view inside the car and lock them in the trunk or bring them into your home.

·  Do not leave items, such as pocketbooks, shopping bags, gym bags, backpacks, tools, etc.in plain viewinside the vehicle.

·  Contact police if you see someone acting suspiciously. If it looks out of the ordinary to you, do not hesitate to call the police. You can remain anonymous when you call.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING

Members of the public have long been one of law enforcement's best sources of information on what is out of place and suspicious in the communities in which they reside and work. Residents know their communities best and are often the first to notice when something is out of the ordinary such as unfamiliar people or vehicles loitering in the neighborhood, or activity at a vacant home or a closed business. Police are reminding the public if you "see something, say something" by calling 9-1-1 or our non-emergency dispatch number at(856) 665-1200. Anonymous tips can also be sent to may be the source of information police needed to solve a crime or intercept criminal activity. Together we can work together to keep our communities safe.

SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS

The Cherry Hill Police Department recognizes that many residents maintain their own outdoor surveillance cameras. These systems have proven helpful while investigating crimes that have occurred not only at the residence, but in the immediate area.

The Cherry Hill Police Department is inviting any resident that maintains their own security system to send us an email ncluding your name, address, and a contact phone number or e-mail where you can be reached in the event a criminal investigation is initiated in the area. The Investigative Unit would maintain a confidential log of those residences with surveillance systems and if contacted, you can decide if you would be willing to provide access to any images or videos. We thank you for your cooperation as we work together to provide a safer community.
