New York State Police are reminding members of the community to keep their vehicles locked and to never leave valuables in the vehicle.
Oftentimes, criminals find vehicles that are unlocked and steal valuables which include purses, wallets, laptops, and even firearms. Please be a responsible gun owner and never leave a firearm in an unattended vehicle.
It’s also now a crime in New York to leave a firearm in a vehicle and could result in misdemeanor charges. New York State Penal Law 265.45 states that ALL firearms out of your immediate control and/or possession should be unloaded and stored in a safe storage depository which shall require a key, keypad or other mechanism to access it.
