2 Vehicles on Same Street Broken into Overnight

Two vehicles on Abbey Street in Shelby Township were broken into overnight on May 6.

An iPod converter and three bags full of clothing were taken from the vehicles.

Police said the iPod charger was stolen from a 2006 Ford 500 after a landscape rock was used to smash in the passenger side window.  

The vehicle’s owner said between 2:30 a.m. and 3 a.m. he was awoken by a loud noise, but he went back to bed. The next morning he discovered the larceny.

Police said the iPod charger is valued at $100 and the smashed window will cost the victim $200 to fix.  

Meanwhile, a few houses away, police said three bags full of new clothes were stolen from the trunk of a 2010 Dodge Journey.

The vehicle’s owner told police she had parked her SUV in the driveway at 7:45 p.m. She had left the bags of clothes, which was valued at about $200, in the trunk because she was planning on returning the merchandise the next day.  

The next morning, she called police when she realized the bags were gone.

Evidence technicians were called to the scene to look for latent ridge structures, but there were no signs of forced entry.
