Cheyenne Police report Cheyenne property crime decreasing

While property crime rates have been decreasing, CPD reminds residents it’s important that citizens remain vigilant, and continue to lock their vehicles and houses to prevent themselves from being victims of property crimes.

Most property crimes occur as the criminals find a target of opportunity with doors unlocked and valuables within. Nearly all stolen vehicles were stolen when the vehicles were left unlocked with the keys inside, according to the release.

Also, almost every week this year, CPD has responded to a burglary involving a gun stolen from a vehicle that was left unlocked.
