Prevent holiday crimes
As holiday shoppers crowd malls and purchase gifts online, the Lynnwood Police Department is reminding folks how to avoid being a victim of a crime.
Large parking lots at shopping malls are prime targets for vehicle prowling and theft, the department warns. Remember to scan your car for valuables, stow everything out of sight, roll up your windows and lock your doors.
When finding a parking spot, select well-lit, crowded areas.
When shopping online, don’t ship gifts to your house if you won’t be home to receive them.
Additionally, as temperatures drop, some people warm up their cars and leave them unattended. Not only is it illegal, but a running car is an invitation for theft, according to the department.
