Over the past weekend, we saw an uptick in thefts from vehicles, as well as vehicles being stolen within the city. Many of these incidents involved vehicles that were left unlocked, and in some cases the keys had been left in the vehicle. We are asking for citizens to review their doorbell and surveillance videos to check them for any suspicious activity that may have occurred in your neighborhood during the overnight hours. If you locate any video of suspicious activity, or one of these crimes being committed, please reach out to us at 319-291-2515 to assist in helping hold these thieves accountable.
As a reminder to protect your belongings and your vehicle:
⛔️ Park in well-lit areas.
⛔️ Place valuable items out of view.
⛔️ Always lock your doors.
⛔️ Don't leave your keys in the vehicle.
⛔️ Never leave your vehicle running unattended.
