Just prior to the New Year, a series of cases involving Entering Auto were reported in the vicinity of Teaver Road. Vehicles on Hill Road, Darden Road, Teaver Court, Oak Drive and Cedar Crest Road were targeted by thieves during the overnight hours as the automobiles were parked at their respective residences. Particular in those cases, dashboard consoles and glove compartment contents had been rummaged through and emptied onto the floorboard or passenger seats of the vehicle; although, nothing appeared to be missing in these instances.
Sheriff Donny Turner reminds citizens of the importance in locking your vehicle doors and securing windows when leaving them unattended overnight. Even though your vehicle may be parked inside your own carport or driveway, it makes no difference. Desperate times have forced criminals into utilizing desperate measures when it comes to acquiring property that does not belong to them. Never leave your valuables in plain view, even for an instant, when parking your vehicle at the office or grocery store. Make use of your vehicles trunk, or other compartmented areas. You can get a free Operation Identification inventory booklet to record your valuables in, from the Troup County Sheriff’s Office on Sam Walker Drive.
But, above all, whenever you see a suspicious activity, please notify the Troup County Crime Stoppers Hotline at (706)812-1000. Remember "Crime doesn't pay... The Troup County Crime Stoppers DO!"
