NORTH SYRACUSE -- North Syracuse police are investigating a series of car break-ins. They say items are being stolen out of cars in broad daylight. But now, police are hoping surveillance video will help them make an arrest in the case.
Police told Action News that, in the past two months, there have been at least 9 car break-ins in North Syracuse, some of them in broad daylight.
Click on the video icon to see surveillance video North Syracuse police are hoping will catch the suspect they believe is responsible for at least one of the break-ins.
Investigators say the man, and woman with him, are returning merchandise to a store that had been stolen from a car.
Officials say these break-ins are getting progressively worse. At first, items were taken from unlocked cars, but now, they are actually smashing windows to get in. Police, also, say stealing during broad daylight isn't something they normally see.
Officials recommend that, if you're going to leave something in your car, make sure it's hidden so thieves can’t see anything they can take from your car.
And, if you have any information about the two people you see in the picture and on the video, please contact the North Syracuse police at 458-5670
