12/9/12 - With colder weather upon us, Northfield Township Police are reminding the public about crimes of opportunity. Authorities advise that citizens avoid leaving their vehicle running when itâs cold and make sure to lock both your home and vehicle. They say any holiday gifts should be kept in the trunk and then removed once you get home. The Northfield Township Public Safety Department has taken multiple larceny reports over the past month, including one victim who had her catalytic convertor stolen while it was parked in a lot. Police says others occurred in subdivisions and the vast majority of vehicles that had property stolen were left unlocked but some had windows broken out. A burglary was also reported at the Northfield Church last month in which someone ransacked the interior looking to find valuables. The only item known to be missing was a collection jar. Police say that case is connected to a string of church break ins occurring in Washtenaw and Livingston Counties and officers are currently working with other task force officers in trying to close the cases.
