Don't be the next victim

The Avalon Police Department offers these common sense tips:

Make sure your house and vehicles are secure and locked.
Keep all valuables out of plain sight or removed from vehicles.
If you have a camera and/or alarm system, make sure they are on and working properly.
Some vehicles have mirrors that will automatically fold in when they are locked -- thieves will look for that.

Again, officials consider this group to be dangerous; they say, "do not approach these individuals."

Anyone with any information is urged to contact the Avalon Police Department at (609) 967-5909.
