North Lauderdale Detectives Warn of Overnight Vehicle Burglaries, Stolen Firearms 4

{BSO North Lauderdale}

Detectives are warning residents to lock their vehicles after a series of overnight burglaries in North Lauderdale neighborhoods has resulted in the theft of cash, shoes, firearms and other valuables.

According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, three suspects have been arrested, but investigators believe additional suspects remain involved. Detectives said multiple groups continue searching for unlocked vehicles during the overnight hours.

The burglaries have primarily targeted apartment complex parking lots and residential driveways between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., investigators said. Most of the vehicles showed little or no signs of forced entry because they were left unlocked. However, detectives said windows have been smashed when valuables were visible inside.

BSO said the thieves have stolen wallets, purses, sneakers, perfume, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers and other personal property. Detectives are particularly concerned about firearms being taken from vehicle consoles, glove compartments and trunks.

BSO is urging residents to reduce the risk of becoming victims by locking their vehicles, using steering wheel locks, parking in well-lit areas, removing all personal belongings and installing and activating vehicle alarm systems.

Anyone with information about the additional suspects is asked to contact North Lauderdale District Sgt. Lisa Sokol at 954-720-2261 or Detective Jaret Mundth at 954-720-2265.

Anonymous tips can be submitted through the SaferWatch app or to Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477), online at BrowardCrimeStoppers.org or by dialing TIPS (8477) from any cellphone in the United States.
