LIVE OAK, TEXAS – The holidays are one of the busiest seasons for shoppers and criminals. However, local enforcement agencies want to ensure your possessions are kept safe.

Live Oak, Selma, and Universal City police departments gathered at The Forum Wednesday morning for the 8th annual No Grinch Zone.

The departments coordinated a sketch of the infamous Grinch attempting to steal items from a parked vehicle. In a matter of moments, the green culprit is caught by officers and McGruff the Crime Dog.

Live Oak assistant police chief, Gary Hopper said although it’s a sketch created in good fun, it’s a situation that happens too often.

However, despite the number of vehicle break-ins going down, Hopper said they have not stopped. He said during the holidays vehicle break-ins go up.
