Days later on Sunday, Jan. 29, Woodstock officers responded entering auto incidents in the Kingsgate and Regents Place neighborhoods, which are located off Trickum Road. Police say valuables were also taken from vehicles in those communities.

Along with the stolen vehicle report, a total of nine incidents were documented between the two aforementioned dates.

Detectives have evidence that suggest the same suspects are behind the incidents, Woodstock police added.

The suspects are described as two white males in their late teens to early 20’s. One male was wearing a dark color hoodie with blue jeans and the other male was wearing a two-toned hooded jacket with sleeves that are darker than the rest of the jacket.

During the incidents in Serenade, the suspects were driving a light colored, four-door sedan. Detectives estimate its model year to be in the early 2000's. While committing the Kingsgate and Regents Place entering autos, Woodstock police say the suspects were in a dark SUV. It appears the model year for that vehicle ranges between the late 1990's to early 2000's.

All vehicles entered into were unlocked. Anyone with information is asked to call the Woodstock Police Department's Tip Line at 770-592-6021. Callers can remain anonymous.
