Police warning after more thefts from cars

All four vehicles were parked either on the street or in driveways.

It comes after 64 unlocked vehicles were broken into in the past month in the Shepparton, Shepparton East, Mooroopna and Kialla areas, which police describe as a significant increase in this crime.

After Saturday’s thefts, Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit Detective Senior Constable Nathan Berryman has reminded people to ensure they lock their vehicles.

“Owners should make sure they don’t leave valuables in their car,” he said.

“And they should make sure their vehicles are secured — with windows up and the car locked.”
