Crime Alert/Timely Warning
Subject: Auto Burglaries
Date: February 14, 2013
The SSU Police have received seven auto reports beginning February 8, 20013 through February 14, 2013. The crimes have occurred between the hours of 5P and noon the following day. In all but one case a passenger side window of the vehicle has been shattered to gain access. Several of the burglaries have occurred in “F” parking lot, one in “G” parking lot, and two in residential parking near Beaujolais Village. Items stolen have primarily been purses, wallets, and small items of value in plain view inside the vehicles. The suspect(s) also often take items from the glove compartment. In one case credit and debit cards were used in the early evening not long after the burglary at gas stations and department stores in the Santa Rosa area. In analysis of the cases it appears likely the same suspect(s) are responsible for all the reported burglaries.
