Dash cam captures thieves in Richmond car break-ins
RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond police are enhancing patrols in the city’s far West End after a rise in car break-ins.
Surveillance movie captured two boys in the four thousand six hundred block of West Franklin Street going car to car July 9.
“You see two individuals walking down the sides of the street, they’re checking every single door treat to find one that’s unlocked,” said Willow Lawn resident Katherine Coleman.
Coleman is one of dozens of residents whose car was cracked into and it’s not the very first time it’s happened.
“They did go through every compartment, pulled out everything, went through bags of trash and unluckily I had just forgotten to lock the car,” said Coleman.
“It’s just frustrating that people would do that. They feel like they are entitled to anything,” she added.
Richmond Police Lieutenant E. Capriglione said the department has seen a latest increase in car break-ins in the far West End of Richmond.
About a mile away in Malvern Garden, Kathleen Peter lost about $800 of belongings in June and said her car was locked.
“I just had this sickening feeling and hit the overhead compartment where I keep my Rayban sunglasses and hit that and they were gone,” said Peter. “I recently, purchased a Sony a6000 camera, didn’t even realize until a week later that they had gotten that too.”
Police say prevention is the key.
“Our suggestion is to please lock your car when you’re finished using it at the end of the day. Anything of value either put it in the trunk or bring it inwards with you,” said Lt. Capriglione.
Victims want those responsible caught.
“Knowing people crack your privacy in that way and come on to your property and get into your car and take whatever it’s just unsettling,” said Peter. “I just want them caught, I want them gone, I want this to go back to the neighborhood I love.”
“You can see the persons face in the movie after he leaves my car and I’d like to have them held responsible for that,” said Coleman. “They shouldn’t be permitted to just go in and if something’s unlocked take it that’s not how the world works,” said Coleman.
“We’ve enhanced patrols in all the areas we’ve seen a spike we track these types of crimes everyday so we know where to deploy our resources specifically right down to the block they are occurring,” Lt. Capriglione.
If you have any information you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.
