Thefts from vehicles continue to grow in number web posted September 2, 2010 MERRIWETHER – Thefts from unlocked cars and trucks in the yards of Merriwether residents continue, even if at a lower pace than in previous months. In the past week a total of $815 in electronics and cash have been stolen from cars parked at area homes. In the past five weeks nearly three dozen vehicles have been targeted and nearly $10,000 in property stolen. An arrest in a single case has been made, but the thefts continue undaunted. A report on Wednesday morning around 1 am came from a witness who alerted his neighbor that a man was seen entering his truck before fleeing the scene, perhaps knowing his activity was being observed. The Hickory Drive man alerted his neighbor about the crime, but before Sheriff’s Deputies could arrive moments later, the man was gone. He was described as a white male possibly in this late 20’s to 30’s wearing dark shorts and a white t-shirt. The man fled on foot towards Sweetwater Road. Deputies searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. Late last week a Coranet Drive resident reported a cell phone, CD’s and cash totaling $615 in value was stolen from a vehicle parked at the family home. A day before a similar report was filed reporting a GPS unit stolen from a vehicle parked at a Summerlake Drive home at a value of $200. Residents are again encouraged to remove valuables from their vehicles at night and to lock all doors and activate alarm systems is available on their vehicles. According to incident reports, the majority of thefts seem to be taking place between 11 pm and 6 am.
