Summary
Looks like we had a rash of motor vehicle break-ins lately. The Wake Forest Police Department state the best thing you can do to avoid losing stuff from your vehicle is to lock the doors. You would be surprised how many people leave valuable stuff in unlocked vehicles.
It was also a bad stretch for people being arrested for driving while impaired.
