35 Vehicle Break-Ins in West Des Moines

35 vehicle break-ins are being investigated by West Des Moines Police...break-ins that have taken place over the past week.
In one instance, a Chevy Tracker was broken into...the back window smashed out, but all the thiefs took was a flashlight...and it was parked next to a more expensive Porsche, that remained untouched.
According to West Des Moines police, 35 break-ins in one week is very unusual.
According to Leiutenant Jim Barrett, the incidents are widespread...some of the vehicles were left unlocked, many had windows smashed in, a few had nothing taken and others lost valuable electronics and most of the incidents are happening outside businesses and in parking lots outside apartment buildings.
According to Barrett, the best way to protect yourself against a break-in is to lock the car doors and remove valuables.
Police still had no suspects in the robberies, as of yesterday.
