Lock the Doors, Take Your Expensive Stuff, Say Ambler Cops

When leaving your car for an extended period of time, Ambler Borough cops advise to lock it down and roll 'em up.

With three homes hit with thefts from vehicle last week in the borough, police are recommending drivers take their expensive items out of their vehicles overnight, and lock all doors and roll up all windows to secure the vehicle..

On May 16, at 9 a.m., a resident of the 100 block of East Mt. Pleasant Avenue reported to police that in the overnight hours someone rifled through the center consoles and the glove compartments of two vehicles, police said. Nothing was taken, however.

At 3 p.m., another resident of the same street reported to police that someone entered her vehicle and stole a wristlet purse containing $400 in makeup, ID and a paycheck, police said. 

At 6:25 p.m., a third resident from the street reported to police that her vehicle was entered overnight by someone who stole $40, police said.
