The Logan County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating a burglary to motor vehicle, which occurred in Kickapoo Park on June 23rd at approximately 11:15am. The victim’s passenger side window was broken out and a purse was taken from the passenger side floorboard. Anyone with information regarding this crime should call the Logan County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division at 217- 735-1105.

Sheriff Mark Landers would like to offer some ways to protect yourself from becoming a victim of this or similar crimes. Vehicle burglaries are becoming more common and this is not the first incident at a public park.

1. Keep your vehicle locked at all times.

2. Place all items of value in your trunk or inside your locked glovebox.

3. Do not leave items that have your home address printed on them in plain sight. Lock those items in your glovebox or trunk also.

4. Lock your garage door opener and house keys in your trunk or glovebox.

5. Delete your home address from any GPS device and also place these items in your trunk or locked glovebox.
