Leaving Keys in Ignition Contributes to Stolen Vehicles

With the onset of cold weather, the Odessa Police Department would like to remind the public that car thieves are actively seeking opportunities, particularly targeting motorists who leave their vehicles running to warm up during the early morning hours. A significant number of stolen vehicles can be attributed to either keys left in the ignition or spare keys left inside the vehicle. Here are some friendly reminders:

1) Refrain from leaving or concealing spare keys in your vehicle.
2) Leaving keys in the ignition with the engine running and the vehicle unattended is illegal and can result in a fine (TTC 545.404 - Unattended Motor Vehicles).
3) Some insurance policies may not cover vehicle theft resulting from this practice.
4) Using a remote start device allows legal unattended running of the vehicle.
5) Report suspicious activity, suspicious persons, and suspicious vehicles to OPD.

School Disruption

The Odessa Police Department and ECISD Police have detained and charged a 13-year-old Ector College Prep Middle School student with two counts of Theft of Property and three counts of False Alarm. Based on witness statements and video evidence, investigators believe that the juvenile stole two different students cell phones and made three 911 calls to Odessa Dispatch.

The phones were stolen while the students were in athletics. After stealing the phones, the juvenile reported "a shooter" was in the school. Thanks to the rapid response from all officers involved and excellent investigative teamwork, this incident was brought to a safe resolution. The juvenile was transported to the Ector County Youth Center for processing.

Traffic Advisory

OPD would like to remind the public that roads are expected to flood throughout the evening due to recent rainfall. Please avoid traveling in the 3100-5200 blocks of Dixie, University (between Andrews & Dixie), Yukon & Grandview, the 800-1600 blocks of North County Rd. West, and all underpasses. Remember the following if you do travel:

Reduce your speed and maintain a safe distance to the vehicle in front that will allow enough time to stop your vehicle in case of an emergency. Drive with your headlights on and if you must travel, please allow plenty of time to travel to and from your destination.

Avoid using cruise control and ease off the gas pedal or brakes if you start to skid. Also, some of the intersections have no functioning lights so please remember to treat intersections with flashing lights the same as a 4-way stop sign.
