Washington County Sheriff's Update
Nothing can ruin the Christmas spirit faster than becoming the victim of a crime. The Washington
County Sheriff’s Office has had an uptick in crime in several new developments. All the crimes
have been opportunity crimes, meaning it has been easy for criminals. Leaving keys or key fobs in
the car, valuables and money in unlocked vehicles is too tempting for the criminals. All the
vehicles that were stolen from our city had the keys left in them. No one is hot wiring vehicles or
punching ignitions. The break in to vehicles are also not occurring by breaking windows. All
vehicles have been left unlocked. Think of everything in your car in terms of cash value. If you
would not leave the equivalent in cash out, do not leave it out in the form you bought it.
This holiday season, the Sheriff’s office would like to remind all residents of the following holiday
crime prevention tips:
Lock your vehicle
Do not leave keys/key fobs in the vehicle
Do not leave valuables in plain view
Park in well-lit areas
Do not leave any personal identifying papers in your vehicle
Do not leave a vehicle running while unattended.
Shut and secure garage doors when not in use.
Please contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Office if you see a suspicious vehicle or person
in your neighborhood. You can call 911 or the non-emergency number, 651-439-9381.
