Thieves Sought In Gloucester Twp. Car Break-Ins
GLOUCESTER TWP., N.J. (CBS 3) ―
Police are investigating burglaries of more than a dozen cars at a Gloucester Township apartment complex.
Authorities believe the 13 break-ins happened sometime between 1 and 4 a.m. Tuesday at the Autumn Ridge Apartments in Blackwood, New Jersey.
While the thieves shattered several car windows, authorities said some of the victimized vehicles were unlocked.
In addition to Tuesday's break-ins, investigators said the break-ins have been sporadic over the last few months.
"It's not isolated just to Gloucester Township, other municipalities are experiencing it and as these incidents are solved, sometimes it just turns out to be juveniles," Chief Ed Smith of the Gloucester Township Police Department explained.
Police remind car owners to secure expensive items and hide any evidence of valuables. Investigators said thieves tend to target CDs, loose cords, purses and even loose change left on display.
No arrests have been made. Anyone with information is urged to contact Gloucester Township police.
