Further car breaks-in reported in Lincoln and several other towns

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 28, officers responded to multiple calls for car breaks on the south side of Lincoln close to major routes that intersect the town, as well as one stolen motor vehicle (a BMW sedan).

These incidents are similar to those that occurred on May 17 and 24 where several car breaks occurred throughout Lincoln and area towns. Thieves targeted unlocked vehicles, passing on those with locked doors.

Lincoln police, in partnership with departments in towns that were also targeted, are investigating these incidents. Communities reporting similar incidents include Wayland, Weston, Wellesley, Needham, Arlington, Lexington, and Reading.   

Police say it’s imperative for all residents and visitors to lock their vehicles and remove any valuables from view. It’s also crucial for ignition keys or fobs to be removed from vehicles when not in use.
