Keep an Eye On Crime in Dublin, OH

With the help of the Dublin, OH Police Department, SpotCrime is now mapping Dublin, OH!

Dublin has an approximate population of 41k and is located just north west of Columbus.  The city is found in Franklin, Delaware and Union counties.  The city is home to the Memorial Golf Tournament which is a stop on the PGA Tour.  It also holds the Dublin Irish Festival, one of America's largest Irish festivals.

Head to the 'Fighting Back Crime Maps' on ABC6OnYourSide.com to see keep up on recent crime stories in the Dublin area.  Recently, there were a spike in reported vehicle thefts.  Thieves were looking for easy access like unlocked garage doors and houses.  They have also found a way to use a wire hanger to open locked garage doors--probably from this YouTube 'how to' video!


To prevent this little trick, you can place chicken wire around the electric door opener or leave on lights to make it seem like someone is home.  Also, make sure to lock your doors and report any suspicious activity.  Be sure to keep an eye on crime and sign up for your local crime alerts by heading to SpotCrime or MyLocalCrime.  Stay aware and stay safe!
