Last week, two juveniles were arrested in the area of Bolling Place after police received a report of suspects attempting to break into vehicles in the central area of Greenwich. Both juveniles were arrested on possession of burglar tools and conspiracy charges, according to police.

"I cannot stress [enough]...that these cars are not stolen for profit," Zuccerella said in an earlier email. "They are stolen to commit crimes."

The lieutenant also noted that these crimes are "100 percent preventable."
