LAUDERHILL, FLA. (WSVN) – Police seek the public\u2019s help in finding the four people behind roughly two dozen car break-ins in a Lauderhill neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Area residents woke up Tuesday morning to shattered windows and missing items, after a group of four was captured on video scouting cars along the 4400 block of Northwest 23rd Street.<\/p>\n
It appears the thieves did not care whether or not the vehicles were unlocked, leaving a mess of shattered glass.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, 5:30 is when somebody came by and decided to break into around 20 cars in the block,\u201d said Shamar. \u201cI had a Nike jacket with like a couple, probably like $40 in it in cash, and they just took that.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Shamar, his mother Mary and other residents of this neighborhood, grappling with the thefts and cleaning up in the aftermath made for a frustrating morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is gone, I saw my window smashed, and I looked inside, my work bag was gone,\u201d said Mary. \u201cI had a Michael Kors backpack in there that has documents. I looked and I checked my center console, I put gas in my car yesterday, I left the wallet in the center console.\u201d<\/p>\n
The masked crew smashed both car windows, then rummaged for several minutes, taking what they could.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel unsafe, I literally feel unsafe right now in this in this house living here,\u201d said Mary. \u201cIt\u2019s just unsettling to be in a situation like that. You wake up in the morning, and anything could have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lauderhill Police have asked residents with surveillance cameras to check the video, as that may be the piece of evidence they need to make an arrest.<\/p>\n
If you have any information on these burglaries, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.<\/p>\n
