According to police, detached garages appear to be the most common target. The RPS added that in some cases, the doors were unlocked, not secured properly, or in poor condition.

Items stolen include sports equipment, clothing, sunglasses and CDs. Garage door openers were also stolen in two cases.

Police also received reports of three thefts from vehicles that occurred in the same area and time frame. These thefts occurred on the 7700-block of Venture Road, 7800-block of Sparrow Road and 300-block of Prairieview Drive.

Cash was stolen from each vehicle. In two cases, a purse or wallet was taken along with the contents, including credit cards and identification.

All of these thefts are under investigation. Police have no suspects at this time.

Police encourage residents to make sure garages and vehicles are properly locked, secured, and valuables are removed or not in plain sight.
