To help keep your vehicles safe and secure, please follow some of the Voorhees Township Police
Department’s guidelines.
– Adopt the 9 p.m. routine: Make it a habit to lock your car doors and close all windows
by that time each night. That can significantly reduce the risk of theft.
– Keep valuables out of sight to deter thieves and keep your belongings safe.
– Invest in a steering wheel lock. Using a locking device mounted on your steering wheel
can serve as an effective deterrent, making it much harder for intruders to drive away
with your car.
– Secure your keys: Always remove your keys from the ignition when leaving
your vehicle unattended. Keep your garage door opener out of the car to prevent
intruders from easily accessing your home.
– Protect your tires: Since car tires are often targeted, consider installing a wheel lock
system to make it more challenging for anyone to remove your tires and rims.
– Stay vigilant: If you notice any suspicious activity, call 911 or the non-emergency
police line at (856) 428-5400 to report a theft tht has already occurred. Your awareness can
play a vital role in preventing crime in your area.
By implementing these proactive measures, you can help contribute to a safer environment for
yourself and your community.
