La Perle has been experiencing a troubling spike in property thefts lately. Sadly, this seems to be more and more common in our neighborhood, but you can take steps to avoid being a target for would-be thieves.
Keep your property secured in a locked shed or garage, install cameras, and look out for your neighbors. Oftentimes, thefts are crimes of opportunity, and criminals are less likely to prey on a property if it's harder for them, or if they know they're being watched.
As always, if you are the victim of theft, or if you see suspicious behavior be sure to report it to police. The EPS relies on records like these when determining the need for patrols in certain areas.
