WRENTHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are searching for suspects accused of breaking into more than a dozen cars in Wrentham Wednesday morning and stealing from them.
Officials say the thefts took place between 2 and 4 a.m. The incidents took place in the area of Park Street, Harvard Lane, Martin Lane, Catherine Avenue, Charles Street, Lafayette Avenue, and Read Fulton Avenue.
Home survelliance video captured one suspect driving a stolen car out of the vehicle owner’s driveway.
“I came outside this morning to go to work around 4:30, just went out where my car is usually parked and it wasn’t there. Looked around, then I went on my app and saw that it was in Brockton,” said Rich Pieroway, one victim of the thefts.
Officials say they recovered the car in Brockton a short time later using Pieroway’s tracking app.
Police say they received dozens of similar reports.
“As the morning went on we had a second vehicle stolen, and then as people woke up and the hours clicked into daytime we had over 20 reports of cars that had been entered,” said Wrentham Police Chief Bill McGrath.
McGrath believes the thieves are moving as a group. “We suspect there are several of them in a vehicle when they are arriving into the neighborhood so they’ve got plenty of people to drive your car away and still take their car back to wherever they came from.“
Wrentham police released a surveillance photo of one of the suspects involved.
Police are asking people in the area to check home security cameras and contact them at 508-384-2121 if there is any suspicious activity.
