“Every two to three months, someone would come through late in the evening time or early in the morning,” he said. “They would tug on doors and see if people’s cars were open.”

Donny Price, who lives across the street from Young, said someone broke into his car.

“Glove compartment was open and papers were thrown everywhere,” he said.
