Police say car burglaries related

BURBANK -- Police say a rash of car burglaries reported across the

city over the past week appear to be related crimes.

Beginning May 3, police said at least 11 car burglaries occurred

in the city, including several in the Magnolia Park area. The thieves

either pried open or smashed windows and stole stereos, CDs and, in

one case, a laptop computer.

Because the method of entry and targeted items are the same in all

of the break-ins, it is likely the same person or group of people is

responsible for the crimes, police said.

As of late Friday, no arrests had been made in connection with the

incidents.
