CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Three Clarksville teenagers have been charged in a series of vehicle burglaries that occurred between Oct 11 and 16.
Police said the burglaries were near Jenny Lane, Scrub Oak, and Tamara Lane.
Two 17-year-olds were charged with two counts of vehicle burglary and a 16-year-old was charged with four counts of vehicle burglary. They were all turned over to the custody of their parents.
All of the vehicles involved were unlocked at the time of the crimes.
The Clarksville Police Department wants to remind citizens to PARK SMART:
First, LOCK YOUR VEHICLE- always lock your car and close your windows, even for short periods of time, when your vehicle is unattended.
Second, SECURE YOUR VALUABLES- a vehicle becomes a desirable target when you leave purses, money, laptops, and cellphones visible to passersby. Also, leaving firearms inside of a vehicle overnight, unsecured or without some sort of positive control can be a formula for disaster.
Third, TAKE YOUR KEYS WITH YOU- never leave the key in the ignition or fob in the car when it is unattended or running.
