The break-ins happened between 12:30 p.m. and 1:50 p.m. on Thursday. All three vehicles were high end SUVS, all of which had their passenger side windows smashed.

Each of the three victims had their purses stolen after leaving them on the passenger seat. Police are urging everyone to not leave behind any valuables in their cars.
