The Ross County Sheriff is reporting a rash of vehicle break-in and thefts occurring in the county, with approximately 10 such cases on Robinson Road near Chillicothe in the past 24 hours.
Sheriff George Lavender recently told iHeart Media News on our Communique Show, that his office has been getting many more reports of thefts from vehicles. He added that in many cases, the vehicles were left un-locked.
Lavender said they suspect the thief or thieves are gaining quick access to some locations, using area biking and walking trails.
The sheriff reminds everyone to lock your vehicles when not driving and don't leave merchandise unattended inside your vehicle.
