COMMUNITY ALERT: SHARE!!!!!!!!!

[Pocomoke City Police Department]

During the month of July 2014, there has been an increase in Theft from vehicles throughout the City of Pocomoke. Pocomoke City Police will be stepping up enforcement daily during the day and evening hours. 

Pocomoke City is a quiet suburban residential community and residents may become complacent about car security. I encourage residents to make sure you do not leave your keys in the ignition, the vehicle running and to keep your loose change, wallets, computers, headsets, etc. in plain view as these will be an enticement for a thief to enter your vehicle.

Often times, your homes' exterior lighting may too be dim or not in use. Overly tall shrubbery and other brush on the premises can provide thieves with the necessary cover they need to steal. Please stay vigilant for suspicious activity in your community and notify the Pocomoke City Police Department of suspicious activity.
