The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station urged residents to be mindful when it comes to throwing out holiday trash.
Deputies said the holiday trash thrown outside could be “advertising to thieves what’s new in your home.”
“Before leaving that box for the brand new TV exposed, be sure to break down all boxes and place them inside the trash can if possible, if not inside a large trash bag,” the sheriff’s department wrote on a Facebook post.
Residents were also urged to lock their cars, homes, and garage before going to bed.
