Maine State Police, along with other law enforcement agencies, are investigating a large number of vehicle burglaries that have occurred in the past two weeks.
The majority of these crimes have occurred overnight and all of the vehicles targeted have been cars with vehicle doors left unlocked. In several of these cases credit cards, cash, and small electronics were stolen.
