The Brisbane Police Department issued a community alert following a string of vehicle burglaries in the area, particularly targeting Infiniti cars. Perpetrators have been breaking into vehicles via their sunroofs to access belongings within, and on one occasion, an unsuccessful attempt was made to steal a car outright. The crimes took place in the Valley Drive and The Ridge locales yesterday morning.

Law enforcement has reviewed surveillance footage that shows suspects operating a black Honda Accord without license plates. In one described incident, a suspect donned a dark hoodie and facemask, obscuring their identity. The Brisbane PD urges residents to stay vigilant, remove all valuables from their vehicles, ensure they are locked when unattended, and park in well-lit spaces when possible.

In response to the recent criminal activity, the Brisbane Police Department has appealed to the community to be mindful of suspicious behaviors and to report any such observations. The advisory notice specifically calls for attentiveness to unusual activity, persons, or vehicles that seem out of place. Please get in touch with the Brisbane Police Department at 415-467-1212 with any relevant information, including sightings or experiences that match the described crime pattern.
