Hamilton police say a homeowner in the Dickenson Road East area called them at around 2:30 a.m. on Monday morning when they saw their motion lights turn on and looked outside to see someone appearing to attempt to break into parked cars.

Officers arrived and noticed a bicycle propped up against a car parked in someone’s driveway.
