LINCOLNTON, N.C. — Detectives are investigating a rash of vehicle break-ins in an east Lincoln neighborhood.
Investigators say residents began reporting the break-ins to unlocked vehicles the morning of Jan. 6th. Β The vehicles were parked at homes on Glencrest Drive, Sedgebrook Drive West, Cedarwood Court, Pinkney Place and Brentfield Lane.
Items stolen included cash, a .380 caliber pistol, electronic equipment, a book bag, credit cards and identification, according to a news release.
A total of 12 break-ins were reported but investigators say several other vehicle owner’s did not want to file a report.
Deputies believe the suspects went from street to street in the neighborhood entering vehicles that were left unlocked. Β Thieves hit the same neighborhood with vehicle break-ins in August as well.
Anyone with information about these break-ins is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704-736-8909.
