Carjackings city wide; always check surroundings; it's happening mostly in residential areas, gas stations, at stop lights; please keep windows up, doors locked.
If you are being followed by a vehicle, try and get a vehicle description, go to a safe area such as a police station. Park your car in well lit areas. If you are carjacked, give up your car and leave the scene. Recommend no physical or verbal confrontation. If there's a child in the car, let the individual know.
Garage burglaries are also on the rise; make sure locks work properly. Cover your windows. Recommend installing motion lights around the garage/property and video camera if possible.
