Residents of a home on the 2400 block of E. Menlo Blvd were awakened just after 4:00 am this morning (4/1) by an unknown person attempting to steal their vehicle from the driveway. The vehicle thief crashed into a patio fence while trying to back out and abandoned the car, fleeing on foot. At that time, the residents discovered that their home had been entered through an unlocked rear door where the vehicle keys had been taken along with some cash.
Shorewood Police also received a report that unlocked vehicles were entered on the 3500 block of Hackett overnight. These incidents are possibly related.
Police remind residents to keep homes and vehicles locked.
