The Blue Water Area has been grappling with a surge in thefts from vehicles as well as stolen vehicles, prompting a united response from local law enforcement agencies.
Over the past two weeks, the Port Huron Police Department Road Patrol, Detective Bureau, Port Huron Major Crimes Unit, and the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department have collaborated to make multiple arrests linked to this disturbing trend.
To thwart these incidents, officials advise adopting preventive measures:
- Lock It Up: Even brief absences require locking vehicles, as leaving them unlocked has been a key factor in recent crimes.
- Hide Valuables: Keep valuables out of sight to discourage thieves enticed by easy targets.
- Park Smart: Opt for well-lit areas near surveillance or homes for added deterrence.
- Install Security Measures: Motion-sensor lights and alarms bolster security.
- Report Suspicious Activity: Notify authorities of unusual behavior immediately.
- Community Watch: Strengthening community ties enhances collective vigilance.
