PORT HURON, Mich. (WXYZ) — The Port Huron Police Department is urging residents to lock their cars and hide valuables after a series of car larcenies were recently reported.

Citizens are strongly encouraged to lock their vehicle doors and keep belongings out of sight.

Police advise:

  • Do not keep the ignition keys in the vehicle, as one was stolen in the 2600 block of Woodstock Drive.
