ALBANY, Ga. (WTXL) - A man is speaking out after police say thieves broke into several cars on his street, including his wife's car.

Roy Brantley woke up Monday morning in frustration, finding out someone broke into his wife's car.

"They just went in and took what they wanted to take out and vandalized the inside of it."

According to the Albany Police Department, thieves stole his wife's cash, drivers license, and social security card just an hour after two other vehicles were broken into across the street.

"They got whatever they could get out of it and left and went from neighborhood to neighborhood from house to house, going and entering cars and that's wrong," he said.

Police say these two cases are more than likely connected, but they don't have any suspects or witnesses.

Brantley says he hopes the police can come up with something.

"The crimes out here there are certain things that the police overlook it," he said. "That's the only problem that we have because they consider the east side a no side."

Albany Police say about $1,600 worth of items were stolen out of one of the vehicles.

Brantley says he thinks people in his neighborhood are going to have to start looking out for each other more to hopefully keep this from happening again.

"I'd just like to see it stop," he said. "Too many people are getting hurt about their belongings and when stuff gets taking from you. You have to go through everything to get back right because you don't know what they are doing with your personal ID's and stuff so it's a headache."
