Dixon Police Urge Motorists to Be on Alert After Rash of Vehicle Break-Ins

The Dixon Police Department is warning motorists to be on high alert after a rash of vehicle break-ins plagued Dixon's west side Saturday evening. 

Four or five cars were hit in the area of Hillview Drive, according to Sgt. Tom Cordova. The vehicles were left unlocked, priming them for an unknown person to snatch valuables, he said. 

"It’s not infrequent that vehicles get broken into, but to have this many in a small geographic area is remarkable," Cordova said.

Police are not yet reporting what was stolen during the thefts, which were reported early Sunday morning. 

To avoid property loss or damage be aware of your vehicle, keep your doors locked, and remove valuables from sight when parking your car.
