Vehicle thieves are constantly looking for opportunities to take advantage of drivers. Historically, more vehicle thefts and burglaries occur in Texas during summer months which is why the Eagle Pass Police Department’s Auto Theft Unit has declares July, “Watch Your Car Month.” 

During “Watch Your Car Month,” representatives from the Eagle Pass Police Department and other vehicle crime task forces funded by the Texas Auto Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority (ABTPA), will be working in their communities reminding drivers that they must protect their vehicles and possessions inside to avoid victimization by thieves.
