GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Thieves have had it easy in Gloucester Township recently, with an unlocked vehicle stolen and several burglarized, authorities said.

Police also shared footage of a suspect breaking into three unlocked cars last week — two in the same driveway and one across the street. During each burglary, the suspect placed his foot on the brake pedal and presses the start button, which would start the vehicles if the key FOBs were left inside, police said.

The suspect only stole a phone charger from one vehicle during the burglaries, which occurred at about 4 a.m. July 9 on Johnson Road, authorities said.

Police reminded residents to lock their vehicles every night and remove key FOBs and other valuables.
