, Sheriff's deputies and city police officers are investigating a series of car break-ins in two different central Indiana counties. Their biggest concern and warning for neighbors? The bad guys are stealing guns out of people's vehicles.
Investigators say the thieves have been targeting vehicles for more than a month now, often hitting neighborhoods at night between 4 and 7 a.m. "I shared my video with police. They weren't surprised, no. They said, 'we've been trying to catch this guy for weeks,'" Payton said."I'm just glad that nobody was awake here to confront him because I don't know what he would have done."Chipman says a state police trooper and multiple city officers had guns taken from their patrol cars.
