🚨 PUBLIC AWARENESS 🚨

The Yoakum Police Department would like to make the public aware that we have experienced a rash of vehicle and home burglaries within the past week.

One common finding in several of these incidents is that vehicles were left unlocked. Most of the vehicle burglaries appear to have occurred between the hours of 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM. We have also had one residence burglarized during daylight hours.

Areas affected include:
• Mathew St.
• Elk St.
• Rose St.
• Montgomery St.
• Ranney St.
• Clark St.

We strongly encourage all residents to:
🔒 Lock vehicle doors
🔒 Lock residential doors and windows
🔒 Remove valuables from vehicles overnight
🔒 Report any suspicious activity immediately

Help us help you. If you see something, say something. Let’s continue looking out for our neighbors and make it difficult for criminals to take what you have worked so hard for.

If you have information regarding these incidents or observe suspicious activity, please contact the Yoakum Police Department.
