About 7:30 a.m., the Manteca Police Department responded to the Great Wolf Lodge at 2500 Daniel Street for reports of vehicle burglaries in the parking lot. When officers arrived at the scene, they found 48 vehicles burglarized. Police said thieves gained entry to the vehicles by breaking the windows.
According to MPD, electronic items, miscellaneous toiletry items, and at least one firearm were stolen. Manteca Great Wolf Lodge reportedly has gates to enter the parking lot, which require pulling a ticket to get into their parking area. Additionally, they usually have security and surveillance video. However, it is unclear if security was in the parking lot at the time of the burglaries or if cameras captured the crimes. Police said the lodge has not released video footage to them yet.
MPD said the incident remains under investigation, and anyone with information can call the department at 209-456-8101. Officers also advised people not to leave valuables in their vehicles, especially during the holiday season, when people believe that presents and other high-value items may be in them.
