Monthly Crime/Traffic Stats: October 2023

It is that time of year again to be extra careful of our surroundings. Especially leaving the bank, ATM, or while shopping. YOU’ RE BEING WATCHED! Avoid taking the same route home. Make an extra turn, and keep an eye on your rearview mirror. And remember, when out shopping, to keep all packages in your truck or on the floor covered so they are not visible by prying eyes.
