CHARLOTTE — Police are looking to identify four people following a series of thefts in Charlotte yesterday.
Authorities say they were notified of multiple calls from multiple victims in the town of Charlotte regarding vehicle break-ins, stolen property, and stolen motor vehicles.
Police say a victim reported a stolen credit card being used in Burlington.
Over the course of the investigation, troopers with VSP Williston were able to connect the string of crimes to additional incidents in North Ferrisburgh and worked with troopers out of VSP New Haven to investigate the crimes.
Police say the unknown suspects were linked to additional crimes in South Burlington and Burlington.
The suspects are accused of stealing at least four separate motor vehicles between North Ferrisburgh and Charlotte between the hours of midnight and 2:00 a.m.
Police say there were at least two other attempted thefts of a motor vehicle that failed when the suspects attempting to steal the vehicles got stuck on the victim’s yards.
At least seven other motor vehicles were broken into, with at least five having property stolen from within.
Among the stolen property are a .410 shotgun and a bright-orange colored flare gun.
Police say they anticipate additional victims in Charlotte.
Anyone who has not contacted VSP and finds damage to their motor vehicles or missing property are encouraged to contact VSP Williston.
State Police would like to remind the public to lock and not leave valuable belongings in their motor vehicles even if parked at their residences.
Additional charges are expected and pending from VSP Williston.
