There is not any trend identified, however we're seeing that these crimes are happening over night into early morning hours and that these neighborhoods are all getting hit at the same time.
Items that have been stolen include iPods, cell phones, laptops, loose change and jewlery and anything that is expensive, small and easy to grab.
Besides locking your car and removing your valuables, there's one other thing you can do to make your car less appealing to criminals. Park your vehicle in the garage or if it is parked in front of the house, leave your front light on. It seems as though the majority of the vehicles that are broken into are left unlocked and in poorly lit areas.
If you want to report a theft or suspicious activity call East Lyme Police Department at 860-739-5900.
