La Salle police remind residents to keep their vehicles locked – and not leave keys in the ignition – following a recent spree of vehicle thefts and burglaries.

In a Tuesday news release, the La Salle Police Department warned residents to secure their vehicles to prevent additional property crimes involving motor vehicles.
