On December 22nd, Deputies investigated a theft from an auto in the 7200 block of West Joy Road. The victim stated that after returning to their vehicle, they discovered their driver-side rear window had been smashed out, and a purse had been stolen. Deputies attempted to lift fingerprints from the door handles but could not locate any latent prints of evidentiary value. Deputies contacted the business owner and obtained video surveillance of the theft. Deputies reviewed the video and observed a dark-colored sport utility vehicle (SUV) parked beside the victim’s vehicle. Two unknown males occupied the vehicle. The driver is then observed exiting the vehicle and breaking out the victim’s window before reaching inside the vehicle and fleeing the scene. Deputies have sent the video to the forensic laboratory for enhancement. No suspects have been identified at this time.
