#MIDDLEBURY
Middlebury’s Acting Police Chief Fran Dabbo said Saturday night, June 25, into Sunday morning, June 26, cars and trucks were broken into in the Brookside subdivision in Middlebury. Some cars were unlocked, so the thieves helped themselves to wallets, laptops, keys and more. Others were locked, and if the thieves saw valuables inside them, they broke the windows to get to them.
Dabbo reminds residents to lock their vehicles. If valuables are stored in them, those valuables need to be out of sight and in a secure location in the vehicle. Items such as wallets, money, even small change, credit cards, car keys, house keys, laptop computers and firearms are examples of items that should NEVER be left in any vehicle.
Residents also should give some thought to where they park their vehicles. When possible, vehicles should be parked in a garage or a driveway under a motion-detecting light.
