If you’re a gun owner please, secure your firearm properly. Leaving it in an unlocked car is definitely not secure.

From RPD Facebook:

We know we may sound repetitive, but it’s because FIREARMS are still being stolen from motor vehicles. 🚗🔫

Over the weekend, FOUR guns were taken from three vehicles (parked on W 22nd Street, Mactavish Avenue, and Chamberlayne Avenue). Thieves broke the rear window of one vehicle, but the other two were left unlocked.

By law, you are able to store a firearm inside a vehicle. But it is NOT a smart practice and we are encouraging the public to be more mindful.

This is just another reminder to #LockItOrLoseIt and prevent these firearms from falling into the hands of potentially violent criminals.#ComeOnRichmond
