Please do not fall for these unsolicited calls supposedly from a member of law enforcement. If you do not recognize the number, let the call go

Salem Police property crime detectives have noted an uptick in reported thefts from vehicles. They've noticed that among the most common items stolen of late are firearms. Some of the items left behind in vehicles, such as purses, wallets, gym bags, work tools, and the like can be replaced. However, a firearm must never be left unsecured—including inside a vehicle. Please keep your property safe and secure. | Salem Police Department
