Oakmont and Plum residents on alert after recent car thefts
Residents of Oakmont and Plum are on alert after recent car thefts, the latest targets for thieves looking for unlocked cars and an easy score. A video shows a group of at least three people going car to car, attempting to open doors. "It's a little unsettling that they're bold enough to go around," Joe Oleksak of Plum said. Oleksak gave the video to KDKA, pointing out that at one point, one of those people tossed a knife. "They got into my neighbor's car on one side, one of their cars got broken into, and they were doing something," Oleksak said. "I did notice that he only pulled the door handle and then tried to break the window. So, tells me that keeping your car locked, you're not going to fall victim," he added. Multiple neighbors told KDKA someone had either stolen their cars or items had been taken from their cars. Things stolen included IDs and credit cards. One person said a neighbor used a built-in GPS to track their car to Pittsburgh's Homewood neighborhood. They and other neighbors said they got their cars and stolen items back. "I would have to say for residents in the area, just stop being an easy target," Oleksak said. "Make sure you lock your doors at night." It was not immediately known if there were any arrests or suspects. Plum police said they can't share more details because the investigation is ongoing.

Families are on high alert after burglaries in Ewing Township, New Jersey: "Just feel real violated"
Many families in a New Jersey township are on high alert after a rash of burglaries happened in one night while many of the victims were sleeping. Home security video obtained by CBS News Philadelphia shows a suspect in the act of trying to break into a car before police said someone had burglarized at least seven homes in the same neighborhood in Ewing Township. "The individual came through our back sunroom, into our family room, into the kitchen and found keys on the table, my laptop, my son's Bluetooth speaker," said Norman, who asked us not to use his last name. Norman said his family was sleeping when the burglar broke in through a back door and managed to steal his son's keys and his car parked in the driveway. "Just feel real violated. Someone had the audacity to just come inside the house and walked around in our first floor," Norman said. Another video showed what appeared to be the same person walking around a different home around the corner. The homeowner didn't want to go on camera, but said the thief smashed a window, climbed in through the garage, and once inside the home, stole his wife's wallet, bag and car key. JoAnn Miller said her neighbor's car, television and phone were also stolen. "They climbed in the window over their sink in their kitchen area from the outside, how they got through that I don't know," Miller said. According to Ewing Township police, the burglaries happened overnight Monday into Tuesday on River Road, Bernard Drive and Scudder Road. Police are now providing the following tips to residents to help prevent home burglaries: Norman said his family's nerves are still rattled. "Thank God he didn't hurt anyone, but at least just be charged for his crime," he said. Police did not want to release specific details that would jeopardize the investigation, but they said one car has been recovered. Anyone with information or video footage can contact Detective Massi at dmassi@ or 609-882-1313 x 5566.
