The Columbia Police Department’s (CPD) Property Crimes Unit (PCU) investigators are reviewing surveillance video and pictures to identify the suspects accused of committing a series of auto break-ins at multiple South Columbia neighborhoods.
The vehicles were broken into on March 7, 2026, and on February 28, 2026, in the King’s Grant and Yorkshire neighborhoods, likely during the overnight hours.

If you were a victim associated with these recent crimes and have footage to share, please call the non-emergency dispatch number at (803) 252-2911.

Always call 9-1-1 to report suspicious activity…
