Poultney, Vermont - January 25, 2012
Vermont State police are investigating a chain of thefts in Poultney.
Thieves hit as many as 18 unlocked cars parked near Green Mountain College at night Sunday and Tuesday. Police say thieves were not targeting any one type of car or any specific contents, but stole whatever they could find.
Police remind people to keep your doors locked and to never leave valuables in plain sight.
"This has been more targeted. This is happening, obviously, two nights within a short period of time, so we believe it's probably the same person doing all of them. Really just lock your cars, keep your valuables out of them, don't leave your keys in it. Which is usually standard," Vt. State Police Sgt. Doug Norton said.
Police are asking anyone who sees something suspicious to give them a call at 802-773-9101.
