It may seem obvious but it apparently isn’t. Falls Township police are asking residents not to leave firearms in their unlocked vehicles.
In recent weeks, Falls has seen a number of thefts from vehicles, mostly ones that are unlocked, according to officials.

On Thursday, a Heckler & Koch black 40 cal. handgun was taken from an unlocked vehicle on Vernon Road, Lt. Hank Ward said. The worst part: the handgun was loaded.
The $800 gun is among five handguns stolen from unlocked vehicles across Falls this year.
“People continue to leave their cars unlocked and making themselves easy victims. We also remind people to not leave guns inside of their unlocked or locked vehicles because of the possibility of the firearms falling into the hands of criminals,” Ward said.
