Be More Diligent

On July 5th a locked car parked at the end of Signor Lane in the Acres was broken into and items were stolen. This is a reminder that we all need to be more diligent during the peak tourist season. During peak tourist season more people are out and about and sadly opportunities for dishonest people increase during peak tourist season.
