WOODSTOCK — State police are urging residents to secure their vehicles after two rounds of reported break-ins this month, including additional complaints on Spring Hill Road on October 27.
Troop D’s October 27 statement says troopers first responded to multiple vehicle break-in complaints on Old Sawmill Road on October 11. A Honda CR-V was reported stolen there. Nearby, troopers found a different Honda CR-V that had been reported stolen in Westbrook several days earlier.
The CR-V taken from Old Sawmill Road was recovered in New Haven on October 21, according to the troop. The statement does not identify a suspect or announce charges.
On October 27, troopers received more complaints of vehicle break-ins on Spring Hill Road. A Toyota Camry was reported stolen and was later found abandoned a few neighborhoods away after running out of gas, the statement says.
Troop D reports that every vehicle entered in the October 11 and October 27 incidents had been left unlocked overnight. That account does not establish how keys were obtained, who was responsible or whether all of the incidents involved the same person.
Police advise residents to lock vehicles, remove valuables from view and keep keys and key fobs out of unattended vehicles. Suspicious activity should be reported to police; a crime in progress warrants a 911 call.
