Rash of car break-ins reported

Residents of a La Jolla Heights neighborhood caught two thieves on home security camera, around 3:45 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 on Costebelle Drive, breaking into cars and removing documents. In the video, two people are seen opening unlocked car doors parked in a driveway and rummaging through them. In the video, one of them had their face covered, the other had his face exposed. After less than two minutes, the men closed the car doors and walked away.

The homeowner who documented the break-in told La Jolla Light: “The men hit every car on the street that was unlocked and took primarily paperwork. I am assuming they were looking for identity theft ammunition.”

A video documenting the break-in was also posted on YouTube.
