<h2>Firearms Stolen, Police Issue Warning</h2>

<p>In addition to the 15 car thefts, at least four firearms were taken from parked cars, prompting the department to issue a warning to gun owners who are keeping guns in their car.</p>

<p>“A locked car is <strong>NOT</strong> a secure place to store a firearm. If you must leave a gun in your vehicle, it should be stored in a vehicle-specific gun safe, out of sight, and properly secured. Stolen guns on the street put everyone at risk,” the Cincinnati Police Department said in a post to Facebook.</p>
