WEATHERFORD — A rash of vehicle burglaries has Weatherford Police looking for help finding the criminals.

Police have responded to several vehicle burglaries in the southern section of the city in the last week. Investigators believe the same suspects are responsible for some or all of the burglaries.

On July 29, officers responded to two vehicle burglaries, one in the 100 block of East Josephine Street and one in the Target parking lot at 122 I-20 East, where stereo equipment was removed from the victims’ vehicles as well as a gray and black Sunmount golf bag with golf clubs.

On July 31, WPD officers responded to Alford Drive in regards to vehicle burglaries that occurred at the Motel 6 and the Comfort Suites. At Motel 6, suspects removed several plumbing tools and an extension cord from the victim’s bed-mounted toolbox. At Comfort Suites, suspects removed gas cans containing unleaded fuel as well as a generator from the victim’s two company trucks.

The only suspect information at this time was provided by a witness was in the Lowe’s area when the burglary at Target occurred.

The witness advised seeing a white male approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall with medium length light brown hair, dark pants and a light colored T-shirt inside the victim’s truck just before the victim discovered the burglary.
