Residential Break & Enter Prevention Tip

Windsor Police are reminding residents with garage door openers to keep them out of your vehicles when not in use.  A garage door opener in a vehicle parked on a driveway gives thieves easy access to your home through the garage.  Residents should always keep the pedestrian door the house (from the garage) locked with a deadbolt. ▪  Take the remote with you when you leave your car ▪  Always lock your interior entry garage door with a deadbolt. ▪  If you plan on going away on vacation - disable your garage door so it cannot be opened electronically. ▪  If your car has been broken into - check to see if the opener is missing. Always report any suspicious persons or activity to the Windsor Police.
