Message from MRPD: Preventing Airbag Theft

News Archive Posted on March 06, 2022

City Of Mount Rainier Maryland Police Department

 

Overnight, we saw a rash of car break-ins that targeted the theft of “safety airbags”. Those cars that have been targeted are Honda Accords and Civics. The thieves usually break a window to get in, and then remove the “safety air bag” from the car. (Driver’s side and/or passenger side) These crimes seem to be occurring in the overnight hours under the cover of darkness in various parts of the city. We ask those of you that own Honda Accords/ Civics and neighbors of those to be extra vigilant in watching for strange cars or people that may be casing a car in your neighborhood. If you see or hear anything suspicious please call the Mount Rainier Police Department at (301) 985-6565.
