Friendswood police remind residents to lock vehicles

Police reported the following vehicle burglaries:

Forest of Friendswood
Three cars were hit in the 600 block of
Timber View. The cars were parked in the driveway overnight and left unlocked. One of the residents walked outside and noticed that items were scattered throughout the interior of one of the vehicles and that the GPS was gone. A neighbor walking in the subdivision found a prescription bottle and broken eyeglasses in the roadway.

Two vehicles were rummaged through but nothing is reported stolen.

Between 9 p.m. July 15 and 5 p.m. July 16, someone burglarized a vehicle in the 600 block of Timber View and took a GPS, a pair of sunglasses and set of headphones. There were no signs of forced entry.

On July 16, a wallet was taken from a vehicle parked in the 700 block of Thornwood Drive. The person who had the wallet stolen didn’t have time to file a report, so officials are awaiting the details of the burglary.

Wedgewood Village
Between 2:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. on July 16, someone entered an unlocked vehicle parked in the 15800 block of Bougainvilla Lane and took two flashlights. The victim thinks the incident may have happened around 2:30 a.m. because he remembered his dog barking as if someone or something was outside. The man did not investigate or call police to investigate.

Someone burglarized a vehicle parked in the 15800 block of Bougainvilla on July 16 and took a small amount of cash and some miscellaneous papers after rummaging through the glove compartment and center console.
