THOMASVILLE, Ga. (WTXL) - Thomasville police have responded to more than 60 incidents of theft or burglary in the past month.
Three teens were arrested this week for several car break-ins at the YMCA and police believe more people could be involved in these thefts.
According to Crimereports.Com, Thomasville officers have responded to 64 theft-related incidents in 30 days, averaging just over two per day.
Police say they believe teens are behind the crime spree.
Some businesses that have been recent targets are car dealerships. Police say car keys are being stolen and then the teens will return to steal the car it belongs to at a later date.
During all of this investigators have noticed a new mode of operation, one they are catching on to quick.
The individuals will go near the back of the business and cut the power off before entering the buildings so no video can be recorded or alarms triggered.
Police urge residents to lock the doors to your car, house and business.
They say if valuables are in plain sight you open yourself up to becoming a potential victim.
