Before the last bite of turkey settles, throngs of shoppers will be chomping at the bit for the sales on Black Friday — or even tonight. While many may have nothing but great deals on their minds, local law enforcement officials remind residents that shopping season also means an increase in crime.Thieves can be sneaky in their attacks, but a conscientious shopper can prevent from becoming a victim. Statesboro police Maj. Scott Brunson said it is all a matter of using common sense.When shopping, make sure all your valuables, whether they be personal items or gifts recently purchased, are locked in your trunk, he said.Then, make sure your vehicle is locked.If a trunk is not an option, “secure valuables out of sight,” Bulloch County Sheriff Lynn Anderson said.Even if it means circling the parking lot a couple times, “Park in well lit areas,” Brunson said.
