The Woodstock Police Department is encouraging its residents to lock their vehicles and remove all valuables from their cars after recent reports of entering autos in a subdivision.

"We had a total of six vehicles reported entered yesterday at four different addresses within the Deer Run subdivision," Woodstock Police Department Spokeswoman Brittany Duncan said on Tuesday.

Items stolen include cash, credit and debit cards, and electronics. Duncan said all vehicles were unlocked.

"Detectives are currently following up on some good leads," she added.

Sad that even in a nice neighborhood that you can't leave your vehicles unlocked. Hopefully this will encourage neighbors to start looking out for each other more.
