Recent Trailhead Vehicle Break-Ins
Posted on August 23, 2021 10:00 AM by Bonnie Straight
With the cooler weather, many of us will be heading out to local trails, golf courses, and other outdoor recreational areas.  Whenever you park and head out on the trail be sure lock your car and remove any personal items from sight.   In the last month, BPD has responded to multiple vehicle burglaries or vehicle vandalism reports at or near trailheads.  In some cases the vehicles were unlocked, in others, the suspects broke into the vehicle to remove the items. Stolen items include purses and electronics.  We encourage you to not leave valuables behind in your vehicle. Take it with you or leave your wallet/purse at home and only take the essentials you need like a driver’s license and keys. Please report any suspicious activity immediately to police at 208-377-6790 (suspicious) or 911 (urgent).
