We've seen an uptick in attempted thefts from unlocked vehicles in town over the last week, and stolen vehicles driving through town. Overnight we pursued a vehicle, which crashed near St. Kevin. The driver fled on foot.

A juvenile male was later taken into custody. Please continue to lock car doors and immediately report suspicious activity. We appreciate the help provided by the multiple assisting police departments.
