Police Investigate Danville Theft Ring - Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 04:02AM EST

DANVILLE, MONTOUR COUNTY -- A rash of car break-ins has Danville police asking for the public's help to catch the culprits.

Police say a group of thieves are targeting the cars of people who live in and around danville- more specifically, the items inside those cars. Deanna Weber of Danville said, "It's surprising because I never thought that would happen, a series of break-ins would happen in Danville."

According to police, over the last two months, everything from I-Pods to cell phones to jewelry have been stolen. Danville Police Chief Eric Gill noted, "If you're in your car or on your property and you notice something is missing, report it to us so we know what was stolen. Because if not we sometimes get a large amount of stuff that we don't know what to do with."

Police say part of the problem is that people oftentimes don't report when minor items are stolen from them. And that can leave cops missing key pieces of evidence. Gill explained, "Because if that one piece is the piece we need to put into that puzzle to make it all work, that's one we don't have. And it's really frustrating for us sometimes."

Police are urging neighbors to lock their doors, be extra vigilant, and keep their valuables out of sight of opportunistic thieves. It's a message people around here say they're taking to heart. Weber added, "Does it make me change my habits? Absolutely. I lock my car all the time anyway no matter what."

Anyone with information on thefts is urged to contact Danville police at 570-275-2101.
