Should I encrypt before writing to local storage?

I've been asked to study any security concerns regarding local storage. Can that data get hacked? Should I encrypt before saving?

I know this question is 2 years old ... but for anyone else curious about this topic:

Recommend reading the comment section as well. The jury is out on the topic - since if you can access LocalStorage via XSS exploit, you have bigger problems than just LocalStorage access.
