Santa Clarita Crime – Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff – Bookings for Tuesday, January 9, 2018

Santa Clarita Crime Report is a service provided by KHTS Radio and Santa Clarita Sheriffs as a part of Santa Clarita Neighborhoods.

KHTS Safety Tip: Check your license plate and registration tabs regularly. A common crime is to a steal lawful owner’s vehicles registration tabs. Because certain factors, such as proof of valid insurance, must be met to obtain legitimate registration tabs from a California DMV there has emerged a secondary black market for stolen registration tabs. Remove previous year tabs before applying the new registration tab. Once you apply your current tab take a razor blade and slice an “X” or similar shape through the tab to ensure it won’t come off in a single piece. Be aware of people loitering around your vehicle and call the police if you suspect criminal activity.

Public Safety: It can take seconds for a thief to steal something from your car, so never leave valuables inside. Most vehicle crime is preventable. Don’t make your car a target for thieves by leaving sought-after items such as purses, wallets, laptop computers and cell phones in plain view. Always check you have closed all your windows and locked the doors before leaving your car unattended. While there’s no surefire way to totally prevent your car from being broken into, keeping these tips in mind can make your car less of a target.
