It's not necessarily surprising to hear about that this time of year, but Egg Harbor Township has always been known as a safe and family-friendly place to live.

The Egg Harbor Township Police Department shared a post to their Facebook page informing residents about the alarming increase in burglaries within the area lately. The good news is, if you can refer to it as "good news," the burglaries that have been reported are in reference to vehicles.

It's not uncommon for residents in the township to leave their front doors unlocked while they're home, so you can bet that some of their cars aren't always locked all the time.
