S. C.Belle Haven·2+ weeks agoPosting for a friend: Our cars were broken into last week in Wednesday, February 21st around 8pm-3am. We aren’t sure the exact time. From what we gather, there was three men: one driving, and two breaking into the cars. We were able to gather some videos but not enough to see license plates. We are asking the community for help in finding the culprits. Thankfully, not much was stolen from my car, but my husband has his machinery stolen from a secured lockbox. This is by Bay Road and Glen Way. Thank you all in advance. Posting for a friend: Our cars were broken into last week in Wednesday, February 21st around 8pm-3am. We aren’t sure the exact time.
