Increase in thefts from the area.
Publication date: 05/20/2008
IN BRIEF:  The Zionsville Police Department has seen an increase in the area of thefts from vehicles. Please be sure to remove or secure anything of value from you cars. Please be sure to lock your vehicles and home. Remember that most thefts are crimes of opportunity. You can help lower your chances of becoming a victim by removing the opportunity.

The Zionsville Police Department will be increasing patrols in the neighborhood areas of town. We look to increase the interaction between officers and persons in the area in an attempt to locate and identify the person or persons responsible for these crimes.

If you should hear or see suspicious activity in your area, please do not hesitate to call the police. With your help, perhaps we can squelch this activity in the near future. Remember, it may just be a noise you hear in the night and a call to 911 that will help us place these people where they need to be…in jail.

A possible suspect vehicle description in these cases is a black, lowered passenger car, possibly Honda Accord or similar style vehicle with a loud exhaust.
