Front Royal police are reminding citizens to always lock their vehicles, especially during the holiday season, when thefts from motor vehicles are surging. âWe have seen a recent increase in thefts from motor vehicles, which is not unusual during this time of year, and urge everyone to take extra precautions to minimize their chances of becoming a victim,â a press release from the department stated. According to an email from Chief Kerry Magalis, there is no specific area for the vehicle break-ins and they have occurred in both the north and south zones, with no activity in the middle of town. Most recent incidents have occurred at the Front Royal Christian School, Commonwealth Assisted Living and Warren Memorial Hospital, Magalis stated.
