Please be aware that there has been an increase of vehicles being broken into in the surrounding towns. Last week a number of vehicles were broken into in Bedford and Tewksbury. Billerica was affected as well but it was isolated. Last night, Chelmsford had a significant amount of vehicles entered and property stolen. Like the rest of these agencies we are asking that residents realize that every neighborhood and town is a potential target to thieves. Don’t let complacency deter good habits. Please secure your vehicles and remove valuables or keep them from view. If you do become a victim please make sure you report the incident to BPD.
