Uptown Westerville is a Place to Lock Up

WPD's Crime Prevention Specialist Carrie Ryan tells us:

We've seen an increase in thefts from vehicles throughout the city in the last month. The thefts have occurred in neighborhoods and busy parking lots. The Westerville Community Center has been the most common area recently for thefts in parking lots.

Please remember to lock your vehicles, do not leave valuables in plain sight (several purses have been stolen lately) and report any suspicious activity to 614.882.7444.

Thank you!

Update Jan. 18th: Thieves are hitting vehicles (including breaking windows) parked in church parking lots during services throughout the week. Be smart. Be safe.
