SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department documented 64 cases of firearms stolen from vehicles since the beginning of this year. Only nine have since been recovered. That leaves 55 still outstanding and unaccounted for.

In support of the YWCA’s Week Without Violence the Salt Lake City Police Department would like to remind gun owners to take steps to keep firearms from getting into the wrong hands.

Some things to remember are:

  • Keep guns in a safe or with child resistant locks on them
  • Don’t leave your firearm unsecured in a vehicle
  • Document your serial numbers to assist law enforcement in recovering stolen firearms

To share information about any stolen/recovered firearms or other criminal activity with the Salt Lake City Police Department, please call (801) 799-3000. To remain anonymous, text crime tips to 274637. Start the text with the keyword TIPSLCPD (all one word, which routes it to SLCPD), then a space, followed by the relevant information and/or photos.
