Over the past month, there has been an increase in items stolen from unsecured vehicles in the Town of Garner.

According to police reports taken during July, over 60 percent of larceny-from-vehicle victims said their vehicles were unsecured at the time the theft occurred, said Lauren Norman, a crime analyst with the Garner Police Department.

Items commonly targeted are purses, GPS systems and small electronics. Vehicles have been targeted while in both residential and commercial areas throughout the town.
