OJAI : Thieves Take Phones, Pagers From Vehicles
Thieves targeting cars with cellular phones have broken into about a dozen automobiles in the Mira Monte neighborhood near Ojai, authorities said.
The rash of break-ins occurred during the early morning hours Monday and Tuesday in the Mirror Lake and Saddle Mountain tracts, Ventura County sheriff’s deputies said.
The thieves took cellular phones and pagers, but did not touch the stereos in the cars.
Authorities are warning residents not to leave phones or other valuables in their cars or trunks.
“This is a group that’s organized and good at what they do,” Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Kennedy said.
