Police Have Lead In Southampton Thefts From Cars

UPPER SOUTHAMPTON, PA — Police in Southampton believe they have a lead in a recent rash of car break-ins in the area. Now, they're asking for the public's help identifying a man they believe was involved.

On Friday, Upper Southampton Township Police released photos and video of a man they called a suspect in "numerous" thefts from vehicles in the Buck Road area over the weekend. They say the man in the images used credit cards stolen from one of the vehicles to buy items at several stores in Lower Bucks County.

Earlier this week, Upper Southampton Police announced that they investigated several theft-from-vehicle reports in the Militia Hill neighborhood, off of Buck Road. In each case, police say, the victims' vehicles were left unlocked and valuables had been left inside.

Lower Southampton Police issued a similar report, saying they received several theft reports over the weekend from vehicle owners in the Buck Road neighborhood between Street and County Line roads. Most of the thefts happened in the owners' driveways during the early-morning hours, police said.

Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact Detective Tony Marsaglia at 215-364-5000, Ext. 113 or at amarsaglia@ustwp.org.
