Fort Thomas: Increase in theft from vehicles and burglaries

Since the beginning of the year there has been an increased activity of attempted theft and thefts from vehicles in south Fort Thomas near Tower Place, Von Zuben and Brentwood.

One resident of Brentwood reported that a neighbor had their vehicles entered and rummaged through. These are occurring late night, especially on weekends.   

Two burglaries have occurred in other parts of the city, one in the middle and one in the south. Large items were removed from the homes and appear to be during work / day time hours.

Some crime prevention tips are to always lock your doors to your home, utilize an alarm system if you have one, and call police (859-292-3622) if you see anything suspicious at home or your neighbor’s home.

Lock your vehicles doors when ever you park it. Regardless if it is in your driveway, on the street, and or in a parking lot. 

An ounce of prevention can deter you from becoming a victim.
