This video is of a suspect in several vehicle break-ins. The suspect checks the car doors to see if they are unlocked, they are not and he moves onto the next driveway. The suspect found several unlocked vehicles in the area. This is how fast this crime is carried out. Locked doors do not always deter the thief but unlocked doors offer no deterrent.
These break-ins happened on 08/29/2017 around 1AM in the area of shades Crest Road and Monterey Place. If you have any information on this incident please call 978-0140.
Learning how to breach doors, may come in handy if you lock yourself out of the house.
