Officers throughout Washington County have seen a surge in the number of car burglaries in recent weeks following the arrest of a 19-year-old alleged car burglar.
And one consistent theme officers continue to see is that most, if not all of the vehicles involved were left unlocked at the time of the theft.
The latest incident occurred Sunday when a patrol officer traveling in the area of Dixie Downs Road and Jefferson Street noticed two individuals walking south on Dixie Drive, one of whom matched the description of a suspect in a recent auto burglary case. The suspect's hooded sweatshirt "displayed a distinctive quote in a distinctive font," which was a match to the hoodie worn by the individual suspected in a recent rash of vehicle burglaries.
