We would like to inform you of recent thefts from unlocked cars in the neighborhood.
Last Thursday, two men working on the new home at the corner of Dahlia Ct and Forest Lane had their wallets stolen out of their trucks in the middle of the day.
Yesterday (Monday), Detective K. R. Rhodes w/FCPD was canvassing the neighborhood to alert residents.
Detective Rhodes told one of our neighbors that there is a pair of people “working” the Chesterbrook neighborhood, targeting cars or trucks parked on the street or in driveways that they assume belong to house cleaners, contractors, plumbers, etc.
He said they especially target vehicles with logos, or cars they don’t think belong to residents.
One man goes into the unlocked vehicle and takes the wallet/purse and is picked up by another person driving a car slowly.These thefts, the Detective said, have been occurring regularly over the past several months, and asked us to alert the neighborhood.
If you see something suspicious – a car driving very slowly, a person unknown to the neighbors walking slowly – please call FCPD.
Do not pursue the thieves or talk to them, just call the police ASAP.
To prevent theft, please remind everyone visiting or working at your home to always lock their vehicle. And, please do not leave any valuables in the vehicle.
