The suspects stole items ranging from purses to electronic devices, and U.S. currency.  In most of these cases the vehicles were parked in the victim’s driveways and were unsecured.  These incidents are just south of an area that was reported seeing car break-ins just a week prior (State Police Probe Thefts From Vehicles-Bridgeville)
