(KLZA)-- Unfortunately warmer weather often means more crime, including thefts.

The Richardson County Sheriff's Office  reminds everyone to make sure you’re locking up your valuables, your house, and your vehicles. 

If you decide to leave on a vacation, the Sheriff’s Office offers courtesy house checks. 

If you’re planning a vacation, you can call the Richardson County Sheriff's Office at 402-245-2479 and let them know. 

Deputies can keep an eye on your residence while you’re gone. We need to know how long you’ll be gone, a contact number, and if anyone is allowed there while you’re gone.
