Over the past weekend, New York State Police in Brewster investigated ten vehicle break-in incidents and one stolen vehicle. These crimes were committed in the towns of Patterson, Southeast, and Carmel. The majority of the vehicles were left unlock with valuables still inside. Troopers are reminding residents to properly secure vehicles, even in your own driveway, at all time due to this increase in thefts. Police say motorists should never leave a vehicle unattended while it is running and never leave valuables or personal identification in a vehicle.
