GREENWICH, CT — Several items were reported stolen from vehicles in Greenwich this week, according to police. One incident was reported Tuesday on Carrona Drive, near the Old Greenwich Train Station, around 10:30 p.m.

Lieutenant John Slusarz said some electronics, including games and a laptop, were reported stolen from the vehicle.

A second incident was reported Wednesday around 11 a.m., in which credit cards were reported missing from a vehicle on King Street near the Fairview Country Club.

Two similar incidents were reported last month, in which a wallet was taken from a 2018 Subaru Outback on North Crossway and a beach pass was stolen from a 2014 Acura MDX on Lockwood Lane.

Back in December, Greenwich Police issued a warning to remind residents about locking their vehicles in order to keep their valuables safe.

"Most of the auto theft reports in Greenwich routinely reveal that the vehicles taken were easy targets because the keys were left inside or made available to thieves," police said in the warning. "A continuing community concern is the theft of items from the interior of motor vehicles. An iPad or cell phone sitting on the passenger's seat of your car is eye-candy to a criminal. Even loose change is enough to invite some to break in. Remove valuables or hide them out of eyesight."
