Incidents involving cars being stolen or ransacked Sunday, Jan. 26, have some in Bedford on edge.

At 5:09 a.m. — A car was reported stolen from a driveway on Ambler Drive, Bedford. The reporting party said she last saw the car around 8:30 p.m., Saturday. She was unsure if she’d left her key fob inside the car. Police checked video footage in the area and her statement was taken. The incident is under investigation by detectives. 

6:55 a.m. — Another Ambler Drive resident reported their unlocked car was entered by an unknown party and ransacked. Nothing appeared to have been stolen.   

9:50 a.m. — A third Ambler Drive resident reported their car was stolen from their driveway. Using an app they had installed on the car, the owner was able to locate their vehicle in Waterbury, Conn. Police notified Waterbury Police who located the car and took it into their custody until Bedford detectives could arrive to process it. The owner was notified of these proceedings and is expected to recover their car.

Bedford Police addressed the issue on social media: “There has been a spike in property crime regionally,” the department’s Instagram page said. “We want to remind everyone to lock your cars at night, take your keys and key fobs with you. Don’t make it easy for anyone to come into our town and take what’s not theirs.”

The video, which also was posted on Facebook, included a Spanish version. 

Lewisboro police responded to two complaints over the weekend about cars being illegally entered.
