The Ohio County Sheriff’s Office has started a new campaign hoping to raise awareness and promote safer habits among residents to prevent theft from vehicles, as well as homes.
It’s called #9PMRoutine. Here’s how it works: You’re encouraged to set an alarm on your smartphone, watch, or other devices to remind yourself to do the following: remove valuables from your vehicle, ensure that vehicle doors and trunks are locked, check that all house and property exterior doors and garage doors are locked, and turn on exterior lights.
The sheriff’s office encourages all people to do this in order to not fall victim.
