At least two subdivisions on the Southside, Rancho Vista and Terra Mar, have been the target of several vehicle related-thefts.
Rancho Vista resident Amanda Rupenski said since she’s lived in the subdivision for about the last 10 years and this is the first instance of attempted theft she has experienced.
“So I kind of started looking around and the glove compartment was open with a book fallen on the floor and I thought, somebody definitely broke in. And somebody definitely broke in. And so I just checked my app on my phone and sure enough it showed at 2:10 a.m. somebody breaking in,” Rupenski said.
