Macon police see rise in auto burglaries
SUMMARY: Local police in Macon, Mississippi, warn of a new viral social media trend that has led to an increase in car burglaries and thefts in the area. The trend involves teaching kids how to steal vehicles using certain methods to steal signals and break into cars quickly. The stolen cars are often used for other criminal activities. Macon police have advised residents to be vigilant, park cars in well-lit areas, take valuables out of cars, and purchase steering wheel locks for added security. The police have also suggested keeping an eye out for suspicious individuals, particularly groups of young people, in neighborhoods.
