Three unlocked vehicles parked overnight on Holmes Avenue were entered overnight from Saturday to Sunday, Jan. 21 to 22, but nothing was reported stolen.
You can see this statement on the back of Darien Police patrol cars: “LOCK YOUR CAR. EVERY TIME. EVERYWHERE.”
The car and two SUVs — two of them in driveways — were left unlocked despite numerous thefts and attempted thefts from unlocked vehicles in the area.
All three vehicles were parked on the section of the street south of Middlesex Road, in the area between 80 and 100 Holmes Ave.
A woman, 32, told police that her white 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe had been parked in her driveway overnight. A police officer responding to a report from a different home on the street saw the vehicle in her driveway with the glove box open.
At a different address, a man, 55, told police just before 8 a.m., Sunday that a blue 2016 BMW was parked late Saturday evening in the driveway. The glove box and center console were found open in the morning.
At a third house, a woman, 54, told police just after 8 a.m., Sunday that a red 2015 Jeep Compass, parked on the side of the road was found in the morning with its glove box open. Her husband said he had walked their dogs in the neighborhood at about 11:30 p.m. the night before and saw nothing suspicious.
Stamford police have reported thefts from motor vehicles parked overnight at homes not far from the Darien border.
