Police urge residents to lock cars in town

Marion Police Department is investigating a rash of burglaries where items have been taken from unlocked parked cars.

Police Chief Ray O'Neal urges residents to protect the valuables by locking vehicles even when they're parked in driveways outside their own homes.

Early this week, a number of complaints were filed by residents of South Walker Street, North Walker Street, Old Shady Grove Road and Club Drive. In every incident, someone had rummaged through vehicles, taking anything of value.
