Residents report cars were entered, money taken

Four calls were made to the Havre Police Department Wednesday between 7:55 and 9:30 a.m. with the callers reporting someone had entered their vehicles.

Of the four, only the Sixth Avenue caller reported, at 8:23 a.m., that anything was taken.

“Vehicle entered last night. Parked in alley, locked (but) windows down a little bit, money was taken, other items left on ground by the car,” the dispatch log narrative says.

The other reports were made by a Fifth Avenue caller at 7:55 a.m., someone from Seventh Street at 8:25 a.m.,  and another from Center Street. That call came in at 9:30 a.m.

The caller on Fifth Avenue said she didn’t know if anything was taken, and the other two reported that nothing had been taken.

Lt. Aaron Wittmer said the perpetrators are juveniles and young adults who are walking around looking for unlocked cars that have valuables in them. Wittmer said they’ve caught some of the perpetrators and are working on catching the rest. The public is advised to lock their cars and keep valuables out of the vehicles.
