musicman Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 A smash-and-grab gang is targeting visitors to Harris County cemeteries, making off with everything from credit cards to sandwiches faster than you can say "rest in peace." More than 30 auto burglaries have been reported since the Christmas holidays, said Lt. Lofton Harrison, head of the Harris County sheriff's auto theft/burglary division. Harrison said his department began receiving complaints late last year. The victims typically are middle-aged or older women who visit cemeteries alone.

Male thieves typically use stolen credit or debit cards at service stations; female accomplices usually attempt to use stolen checks. full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
