Several car larcenies were committed Nov. 8 in two Independence Township neighborhoods. Included in the thefts was a briefcase containing $2,000 in cash and checks made payable to a local Cub Scout Troop for their popcorn sales.
Approximately five reports of larcenies from vehicles of Sashabaw Ridge Drive residents and at least three more on Klais Drive were committed the same day.
Some of the vehicles were left unlocked and others were broken into by smashing vehicle windows. Items stolen besides the Cub Scout money included a stereo, Palm PBA, cell phone, cash and other items.
A dirt bike valued at $2,000 was stolen at another residence on Sashabaw Ridge, but recovered a few driveways down.
Lieutenant Dale LaBair of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department said the incidents are under investigation and could not rule out if they are linked.
