Lake Charles Police Investigating Rash Of Vehicle Break-Ins
KPLC-TV reports there's been several vehicle break-ins in the area. LCPD are investigating the activity and believe teenagers are behind the crimes. Lake Charles Deputy Police Chief Mark Kraus said,
"Our obligation now is to find out who's responsible for this," he continued. "Let's just say kids are walking through the neighborhood and they don't have anything to do and their parents aren't paying attention to what they should be paying attention to and that's their kids.”
Kraus added. “They go walk through a neighborhood and they say ‘let me look in this car and see if I can find me 20 bucks in change or something’ and they pop it open.”
