The Mt. Carmel Police Department has taken two theft of ATV complaints within the last week.  One occurred in the 800 block of Westover St. while the other occurred across town in the 300 block of Wabash Ave.  Please keep your ATVs secured with the keys inaccessible.  Officers are increasing patrols to these areas and request the public to call MCPD with any suspicious activity they observe.  Oftentimes, citizens are hesitant to call the police to report suspicious activity only to find out later they had valuable information that would have assisted in the investigation.  MCPD can be reached at 618-262-4114 or, in cases of emergency, by calling 911.
