CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. — The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office says there has been a recent uptick in golf cart theft.

The Sheriff’s Office says it is important to secure your cart.

These are some helpful tips the Sheriff’s Office provided:

  • Remove your key and park your golf cart in a secure area like a shed, which is ideal.
