Surge in Unlocked Car Robberies

Jefferson County Sheriffs are reminding people to lock their car doors.

So far in September, the county has seen sixty-four incidents of thieves stealing from unlocked cars.

In all of September, last year, there were less than thirty, a dramatic climb.

Forty of the robberies occurred in the Ken Caryl Ranch subdivision, between September 13-16.

GPS units, wallets, purses, tools, cellphones, and cash are amongst the items stolen from the unlocked vehicles.

The Sheriff's department is also asking for the public to report any suspicious activity.
