Two vehicles were broken into earlier this week in Bowman and the valuables inside were stolen, according to local police. They are reminding residents to keep vehicles locked and personal items out of view.
Bowman Police Chief Chuck Headley said Wednesday that one locked and one unlocked vehicle was illegally entered over the night of June 21 inside the Perma Home Trailer Court. The locked vehicle had its window busted out.
The vehicles were likely targeted because purses were in clear view, but electronics, personal items and credit cards were also stolen from the vehicles.
“Hopefully this isn’t a trend,” Headley said. “But people need to be mindful of where they put their items.”
Anyone with information related to these crimes or who notice anyone acting suspiciously should contact the Bowman Police Department at 701-523-5672.
Just a day later, widespread car break-ins were reported from residents in the new housing development in north Scranton, according to local law enforcement.
