Petty car thieves went on a spree in Greenacres last week and took whatever they could find from unlocked cars during the night of 4/15-4/16. Though numerous residents told police the following day that they had heard their car alarms go off – and saw the interior lights of their cars on the previous night, no one called police while thieves were in action. Lt. Thomas Altizio of the Scarsdale Police urges anyone who sees or hears a car break-in at night to call the police so that patrols can look for the suspect(s). In the interim, he also advises you to lock your car, especially at night.
