Police urge community to lock cars

All the vehicles had keys inside when they were stolen, he said.

Det Sgt Costello urged community members to remove keys and secure their cars, especially overnight.

“Please remove items of value and lock cars,” he said.

Det Sgt Costello warned there were members of the community who would “try every car door” while residents were sleeping.

He said one arrest had been made in connection with two of the stolen vehicles.

A 19-year-old man from Echuca was arrested Monday.

No charges had been filed as of Monday afternoon.
