TRUSSVILLE — Trussville Police are once again reminding residents to lock their cars after two vehicles were stolen in one night.
A 2019 Dodge Ram was stolen sometime between Saturday, Jan. 30, and Sunday, Jan. 31, from a home on Spring Street. There was also a firearm inside the truck. The same night, a Chrysler 200 was stolen from a home on Parc Brook Lane. Both vehicles were left unlocked with keys inside, according to investigators.
Police said both vehicles were later found and recovered from the Gate City area of Birmingham but no arrests have been made.
Police Chief Eric Rush said it is important for people living in Trussville to pay attention before calling it a night.
“When you get out of your car and go inside, remember to lock your vehicle and take all valuables inside with you,” Rush said. “Criminals are looking for opportunities and victims are making it easier for them.”
Rush believes the two thefts of vehicles are related.
According to police reports, the people suspected in the thefts gained entry to at least one other vehicle in Trussville Springs. Nothing was reported stolen from that vehicle.
