Holiday Crime Prevention Tips:

1. Do not place empty gift boxes out by the roadway for trash
collection, or you may be inviting criminals into your home to
steal your possessions. Recycle the packages at the recycle bins
behind the Fredericktown Police Department or tear up the
packages and place them in trash bags.

2. Do not share photos of your new Christmas gifts on Facebook or
other social media sites, criminals do have the Internet and you
posted a picture of your new tv for the world to see.

3. Do not share on social media that your headed to grandma’s
house for Christmas, as thieves may want to shop at your house
because you told them your not there and Walmart is closed.

4. If traveling, Drive Safe, Buckle Up and Drive Sober.
