The Bartlesville Police Department continues to remind you to lock your vehicles and remove valuable items at night. They also ask you to check your home video surveillance for any suspicious activity that may aid them in further arrests. Sgt. Elkins said you could also add good lighting around your house and make your car more visible at night so video surveillance can better track the activity around your home if any suspicious activity should occur.

If you have any information pertaining to these cases, you can call dispatch at 918.338.4001 or the BPD's Criminal Investigations Unit at 918.338.4015.
