During the overnight hours of Tuesday, June 18, several motor vehicles in neighborhoods surrounding Chancellors Run Road in Great Mills were entered, and items were stolen. Many of these cars were left unlocked.

 

Video surveillance from residences in the area shows what appears to be the same three individuals entering or attempting to enter several different cars. The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office is actively investigating these incidents.

 

  

 

The Sheriff's Office urges residents to take precautions to prevent further incidents. We remind everyone to lock their cars, even when parked in driveways or in front of homes. Unlocked cars are easy targets for thieves. Taking a few seconds to secure your vehicle can save you from potential theft and loss.
