The Florence Police Department is issuing a crucial reminder to local residents regarding the importance of securing their vehicles when they are not in use. In light of a noticeable rise in vehicle burglaries over the past few weeks, authorities have reported that numerous victims have experienced thefts from their cars, with four firearms among the stolen items. Alarmingly, all of the affected vehicles were found to be unlocked at the time of the incidents.
In response to this concerning trend, police officials are strongly advising individuals to take precautionary measures. If you choose to leave your vehicle unsecured, it is imperative to remove any valuables to minimize the risk of theft. The department emphasizes that taking these simple steps can significantly enhance the safety of your belongings and deter potential criminals.
