Sunday Night Crime Spree In One Easttown Area

Easttown Police are investigating a series of robberies in one neighborhood that all had one thing in common. And now police have a simple warning for area residents.

Police say four unlocked cars were rifled through in the overnight hours of Sunday into Monday, March 26 at homes on Millbrook, Grantham, and Fox Creek Roads in Easttown.

Thieves took "golf clubs and assorted items" from one vehicle, A GPS and sunglasses from another vehicle, A GPS unit from a third and nothing from a fourth vehicle that was rifled.

Protect yourself with one simple step.

Police say the number one piece of advice they can offer residents is to lock their vehicles, even when parked in your driveway. "Please write it in bold, and highlighted," Easttown Detective Lt. Scott Albee told TE Patch. "Lock your vehicles."

Albee says these are "crimes of opportunity" as theives hit in the middle of the night while residents are sleeping, simply looking for unlocked car doors.
