Collingswood Police Investigating More Vehicle Burglaries

Collingswood police continue to urge residents and visitors to secure their vehicles throughout the borough, as a pair of break-ins reported in November cost victims electronics, expensive apparel, and other miscellaneous items.

The first was reported on November 4 in the 800 block of Maple Avenue. The owner of a green Subaru that may have been unsecured noticed that someone had entered it while it was parked in the driveway of his residence. 

Stolen from within were a media player valued at $50 and assorted change. Police have no suspects in that incident.

Then, at 3 p.m. on November 17, police were sent to the Heights of Collingswood parking lot, where the owner of an unlocked vehicle reported that 25 to 30 CDs, a TomTom GPS unit, and a $960 pair of Louis Vuitton sneakers had been stolen from him.

At 10 p.m. that evening, PATCO officers reported to Collingswood police that they had an individual in custody for possession of a controlled, dangerous substance at the Broadway station in Camden City. 

That suspect allegedly was also in possession of a Sprint bill belonging to the victim of the vehicle burglary. The case is still under investigation.
