Yarmouth Police - Lock It or Lose It

Timely advice to avoid thefts from vehicles...


The Yarmouth Police Department remind residents and visitors to lock their cars— or else make them a target for crime.

While summer months typically see an increase in thefts from vehicles, the idea is to create safety habits that will last all year long.

Here are a few simple ways residents can prevent these “crimes of opportunity” and help prevent auto-burglaries:

Don't leave valuables in your car.



If possible leave no trace. Don't leave any sign that there might be valuables "out of sight" in your vehicle, such as docking stations or connector cables.

Lock ALL your vehicle's doors, even if you plan to be gone for only a brief time.
