SOUTHWICK – On Tuesday evening, the Southwick Police Department issued a notice through social media about receiving multiple reports this week of car break-ins.
According to the statement, the car breaks-ins have occurred in the West section of town. Det. Sgt. Robert Landis went on to say that all of the reports took place on streets off of main roads where there is not a lot of motor vehicle traffic, other than vehicles that live in those neighborhoods.

It was reported that the doors of all of the vehicles broken into were unlocked and in some instances the keys were left in the ignition. The suspected thieves took money, purses, credit cards, and electronic devices.
Landis is asking residents to look out for each other and make sure their vehicles and belongings are secure.
“People need to be a little more vigilant,” said Landis. “It’s important for people living in these areas to report things out of place.”
The Southwick Police Department sent out a town-wide announcement last night to notify residents of the reported car break-ins and to be on the lookout. While police are looking into a few leads, this investigation is ongoing.
