Oxford investigates two vehicle thefts
OXFORD – Lock your car doors and don’t leave valuables inside – that’s the advice of Oxford Police after investigating two stolen vehicle crimes recently.
“Remove all valuables from sight, including GPS units, that are mounted to the windshield or dashboard,” said Oxford Police Chief Richard Nolan.
On Friday, police located a stolen pick-up truck, allegedly taken from Madison County, behind the Oxford Quickway. The vehicle had apparently been dumped there by the thief, said Nolan.
In an unrelated incident Monday, Oxford Police and New York State Troopers investigated a report of a stolen 1998 Honda Civic that was taken from a residence along Greene Street in the Village of Oxford.
Police located the vehicle yesterday evening on Scott Street, with the gas tank virtually empty. No arrests have been made in either incident.
Police said the victim didn’t leave the keys in the ignition, but instead attempted to hide them elsewhere inside the unlocked car. That’s a practice that does little to deter crime, said Nolan, recalling other thefts in which victims had keys hidden in other parts of the car.
“If you leave them in the car, you’re taking a chance that someone other than you will find them and these guys know where to look,” he said.
Anyone with information regarding the thefts is being asked to contact the Oxford Police at 843-2333.
