Rash Of Weekend Break-Ins Prompts Reminder From MCPD

The Mt. Carmel Police Department would like to remind residents to keep their vehicles locked when unoccupied.  Over 50 vehicles were burglarized this weekend, each being left unsecured.  This request is of particular importance when firearms are left inside the vehicle unattended.  Failure to do so allows a subject committing a felony to have easy access to a firearm. The Mt. Carmel Police Department desires to keep its citizens safe, and this helps ensure that happens.
