Thieves targeted four subdivisions in the East Brainerd and Ooltewah areas and burglarized numerous unlocked vehicles early Monday night and continuing into Tuesday morning.

Items targeted by the thieves were weapons, cash, and computer tablets.  Additionally, one vehicle was stolen.  The vehicle is described as a dark blue 2009 Nissan Murano.

Some images of the thieves were obtained from victims who have home surveillance cameras, authorities said.

Officials said, "It is important to note that these thefts and burglaries underline the importance of why it is imperative people lock their vehicles at all times and do not leave their keys in their cars. When residents leave their cars unlocked with valuables present and in plain view, they greatly increase their chances of becoming victims of crimes of opportunity. This is especially true at night. Vehicles should always be locked when not in use and all valuable should be removed prior to leaving the vehicle.

"Anyone having information concerning these thefts should contact the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office immediately at 423-209-8940."
