Westport Police responded to 2 stolen vehicle reports yesterday. One was from the very busy CVS parking lot.
In both cases, cars were unlocked — and keys were inside.
There were also reports of another attempted vehicle theft, and of suspicious people running from an open garage, the fleeing in a stolen vehicle.
There’s more, too: a hit and run accident on Easton Road and North Avenue, where one of the stolen cars crashed into another vehicle, and took off. There were no injuries, but many witnesses saw the driver flying down North Avenue, forcing cars in both lanes onto the shoulder.
Westport Police say: “Those responsible for stealing these cars have no regard for your property or your safety.
“Please lock your homes and vehicles, utilize alarm and surveillance systems, and report any suspicious behavior to the Westport Police Department.”
Please steal my car!
