STAFFORD — Stafford County continues to have issues with opportunistic criminals rifling through and stealing from unlocked vehicles.

Amanda Vicinanzo from the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office reported only about 26 percent of thefts and incidents of vehicle rummaging happened in locked vehicles. This shows that locking your vehicle and taking your valuables inside can be very effective against deterring thieves.
