Individuals at Jungle Hut Park, James Holland Park and Varn Park reported vehicle damage and thefts. The stolen items included purses, credit cards, cash and driver's licenses, Priester said.
"As the Florida weather heats up, there is increased activity at the beaches and parks," said Sheriff James L. Manfre. "Citizens are encouraged to leave valuables at home or lock important items inside the trunk."
These types of incidents are also occurring in neighborhoods and parking lots, Priester said. Thieves typically enter vehicles through unlocked doors, stealing anything within reach. Laptop computers, GPS devices and CDs are items sought and taken.
