Dormont police say they’re stepping up patrols near Kelton Avenue after reports of 10 to 12 car break-ins there over the weekend.
Residents reported the break-ins Saturday and Sunday on and around Delwood, Kelton and Pinehurst avenues, Officer Robert Barnes said Monday. The most common item stolen was loose change.
Some cars’ windows were smashed, Barnes said. No valuables or guns appeared to be stolen.
The individuals who broke into the vehicles didn’t appear to target particular residents or specific types of cars, Barnes said.
“We absolutely are increasing patrols in the area and trying to be more visible,” Barnes told TribLive.
No arrests have been made.
If residents have doorbell camera footage that might have captured the thefts, they are asked to call Dormont police at 412-561-8900, extension 300.
