 The number of car thefts in our region have increased recently, but our local police departments and sheriff's offices have been working diligently and cooperatively to assist those affected. In the last week, we've had three auto thefts, two locally and one had made it to Pennsylvania before being recovered. Of course it happened at Walmart parking lot. The two most recent ones were from CarQuest, a guy came by and just found a car with keys in it. It happened to be one of the workers at CarQuest's car. We got lucky on that one that there was an employee also that works at CarQuest and knew the car and seen it being taken and got behind it and followed it. We recovered it down in the Coal Run area and yesterday we had got a received a call from the National Police Department of a car they had entered and supposedly being coming up into our area and through GPS and stuff, we were able to look at the car yesterday over at Zebulin at a pharmacy over there and made two arrests out of that vehicle also and recovered the car. The one yesterday, they did charge the driver with driving under the influence of drugs and intoxicants and that one possibly was drug related yesterday. There was two brothers and he took his vehicle down in the National area and came all the way back up to here so definitely there was drugs involved in that one yesterday. If they notice a vehicle being taken like that, the best thing for them to do is keep back away from the vehicle and contact police by phone and let them come in and try to keep their locations to the police dispatch and let them know where they are at and eventually the officer will catch up or they'll be in an area that can get to them and then let them take control of it at that point. As far as trying to stop somebody nowadays and time, that's kind of up to the individual. I wouldn't recommend it because today's times are dangerous. We have countywide jurisdiction so if it happens here and it goes out in the county, we're going to follow it out there and we're going to pursue it and we're going to get it. We're going to try our best to recover it and do the things we do every day and luckily, like I said, the last three, the one was recovered eight hours away from here in Pennsylvania by another police department, luckily. And these other two, we was able to have those in a matter of minutes. You definitely want to lock your vehicle and take your keys. And a lot of these cars now have a push button locking system on them and they want to leave their keys in there. So just be aware that people have door genie tools, they all kinds of ways to get in there and once they get the keys, the keys will let them take the vehicle out of there. So just take your keys with you and it's not going to hurt anything. Keep valuable items, don't totally be seen sitting in a seat and things of that nature, you know, just put those up and it makes it less of a target.
