Four cars and trucks had been also stolen. All of the thefts and break-ins have a person factor in prevalent.

“We feel this group is arranged and they map out specified regions they’re heading to go to,” Warrington Police Chief Dan Friel stated. “We have recognized that all cars and trucks that they have gotten into are unlocked. There is certainly no forced entry.”
