CERRITOS SHERIFF’S STATION Weekly crime summary March 7-13, 2011

Part I felony crime investigations dropped from twenty to just seven last week. All categories in this report decreased. Calls for service handled by patrol deputies were still high at 266, but down by ten from the week before, and above the 2011 weekly average of 255.
GREAT NEWS! There were no robberies reported to the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station last week.
GREAT NEWS, AGAIN! There were no residential burglaries reported last week. The new 2011 weekly average in residential burglaries is 3.3
GREAT NEWS, YET AGAIN! There were no commercial burglaries reported. The 2011 weekly average in “other structure”/commercial burglaries is now 3.2.
Vehicle burglaries dropped from eight to three last week. All three were from high-volume commercial parking lots, and all three were SUVs. A GPS unit along with purses, ID, cell phones, and cash were taken. The new 2011 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 5.7.
Vehicle burglars rarely enter your vehicle to just look around, but are instead attracted to an item that they can see from outside. If your property is valuable and important to you, consider leaving it at home or taking it with you when you exit the vehicle. Remember, law enforcement officers cannot protect you from vehicle burglars. Only you can prevent your own vehicle burglary.
The final GREAT NEWS for the week! There were no vehicle thefts logged for this reporting period. The 2011 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 2.4.
