Jan. 13, 2010

Another burglary suspect is behind bars after being caught in the act by METRO security cameras at the Maxey Road Park & Ride lot late this morning.

Investigators say an MPD officer spotted the female suspect on the security camera walking through the lot, pulling on door handles. She reportedly found a vehicle that was unlocked and was able get inside. Police say she then attempted to break into eight other vehicles.

The suspect will be charged with burglary of a motor vehicle. Police will determine what was stolen upon talking to the burglary victim.

METRO’s security cameras helped lead to the arrest of two other suspects yesterday morning at the same Park & Ride lot.

MPD wants to remind Park & Ride customers to lock their vehicles, and take valuables, such as cell phones, purses, and electronic devices, from their vehicles before boarding the bus. If not, store them out of sight.
