Security on Tuesday revised downward the number of car break-ins that occurred early Monday and asked anyone with information about the car burglaries to come forward.

Security Chief Greg Remson said there were eight incidents Monday -- four on Pescado Circle and two each on Terreno and Trinidad drives. Four incidents were by forced entry, he said, and four were through unlocked doors, including two through open overhead garage doors.

Remson said the confusion about the total number of incidents -- down from the 11 reported Monday -- was because reports were coming in all day Monday and being handled by both Security and the Volunteers in Partnership with the Sheriff, and the lists had some duplication.

Remson said a wallet taken by the thieves was recovered in the spillway on the first Guadalupe near Terreno Drive. The cash was gone but the other contents were still there, he said.

Remson asked that anyone with information about the thieves call Security (354-CARE or 354-3743) or the sheriff's substation at Rockingham (875-9600).

On Monday, Patrol Officer Stacey Ramsey said a number of residents saw two people dressed in black in the vicinity between 1:30 and 3 a.m., but no one called Security.

Among the items taken were the wallet, a garage door opener, cell phone, passport, pocket knife – most of it “the stuff you leave in your car,” Remson said.

Ramsey shared Security photos of the damaged cars Tuesday morning. The photos are published below, in the story comments.

The biggest loss for victims was the damage to the cars. Ramsey said one car’s door was pulled away from the frame, its roof was damaged and its window popped out and broken. Other vehicles suffered broken windows and pry marks on the car’s body.

We don’t have that very often,” Remson said of the forced entries. “Breaking into unlocked cars, it happens every once in a while. That’s why we tell people not to leave valuables in their cars and to lock them.”

The James L. Noller Safety Center was open Monday, and Volunteers in Partnership with the Sheriff took reports from crime victims at the center and at victims’ homes.
