Marblehead Police: Nearly 15 Car Break-Ins Reported

MARBLEHEAD, MA – Between Saturday night and Monday morning, someone took money, jewelry, purses, clothing, phone accessories, glasses, medication, and more from nearly 15 cars in Marblehead.

Police issued a warning Monday morning to residents, warning them not to leave their personal items in cars. A statement from Marblehead Police said some cars weren't locked, and some car alarms were set off. The perpetrator(s) rummaged through the cars, and didn't always take something.

In some cases, car alarms were heard through the neighborhood, but no one called police. Police say someone entered cars of Kimball Street, Ocean Avenue, Dennett Road, Flint Street, and Nanepashemet Street on Marblehead Neck. Ft. Sewall Terrace was also hit.

"While it goes without saying that we all should be able to leave our property in our cars and have it be there in the morning, there are some people in the world who don’t think like the rest of us," read the Marblehead Police statement. "Please, help us to help you by taking your belongings inside and by calling 911 if you hear or see anything or anyone prowling around or if car alarms are sounding in your neighborhood."

The Marblehead Police business line is 781-631-1212.
