Lockport Police arrest juveniles for Car Burglaries
On Monday, September 26, 2016, at around 4:00 AM, the Lockport Police Department arrested two juveniles, age 15 and 17, for Burglary to Motor Vehicle and Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 1200 block of Farrell Rd. The juveniles were arrested after being stopped by a patrol officer for being out past curfew and acting suspiciously.
Lockport Police officers located a large amount of stolen property on scene. Some of the property has been identified by its owner, but more property is still unaccounted for. It is believed that most of the vehicles were burglarized around the area Kelvin Grove, Regency Point, Lago Vista and Peachtree Dr. Anyone who believes that they may have had property stolen in the early morning hours of September 26th is encouraged to contact the Lockport Police Department Investigations Division at 815-838-2132.
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind residents to lock their doors any time they are away from their vehicle. It takes less than a minute to become a victim of a vehicle burglary, and locking the doors is the best preventative measure a resident can take.
