Deputies are investigating thefts of thousands of dollars in equipment last week, all from unlocked vehicles in one Independence Township neighborhood.
A 43-year-old Independence Township man living in the 4600 block of Stone Gate Court called police after discovering someone stole a set of golf clubs valued at about $2,700 from his unlocked vehicle overnight, June 24. The man told police he heard his dog barking around 3 a.m., but didn’t think anything of it.
While taking that report, deputies said a neighbor approached and told them an iPod and video camera were stolen from his unlocked vehicle overnight. The man said he saw lights shine in the window of his home shortly after 3 a.m., but figured it was the newspaper deliveryman.
One street over, in the 4800 block of Spring Meadow, a 54-year-old man called deputies after discovering someone stole a set of golf clubs from his unlocked vehicle over night.
A 44-year-old Independence Township man living in the 4900 block of Spring Meadow called police, June 25, to report his golf clubs, valued at about $2,000, had been stolen from his unlocked vehicle overnight.
