Police Urge Residents to Lock Vehicles and Remove Valuables to Prevent Overnight Break‑Ins

Elizabethtown Borough Police say most vehicle break‑ins occur overnight and strongly encourage residents to remove valuables—cash, weapons, jewelry, keys—and lock their vehicles, particularly during overnight hours. Leaving items in unsecured vehicles or in plain view makes theft easier for criminals. Anyone who sees suspicious activity should contact the Elizabethtown Police Department at (717) 367‑6540 or call 911 for emergencies.
