Car Thefts Continue In Trumbull

TRUMBULL, CT — Trumbull Police are investigating another wave of car thefts with six vehicles being stolen in the first two weeks of August. There were also numerous car burglaries.

None of the cars that were stolen or burglarized were locked and the ones that were stolen had the keys inside, said Lt. Brian Weir, police spokesman.

"This trend of thefts is not new or sudden. However, it has been a growing problem where officers have seen a gradual increase in thefts from driveways," Weir said.

There were 11 cars stolen in Trumbull during July and 47 car burglaries.

Police ask anyone who is the victim of a car theft or burglary to inform officers promptly as it helps police catch the thieves.

And as always lock your vehicles and keep the keys and any valuables out of them.
