Auto Burglary in Hercules
The City of Hercules has continued to experience an increase in reported theft for parked automobiles. Officers from the Hercules Police Department have handled auto theft reports such as 15 cases involving windows being smashed and 26 cases involving theft in an unlocked automobile. The 41 reported cases have occurred since the end of Halloween. A majority of the auto burglary cases have taken place during the early morning hour. The similarities that all these cases share is that valuables were left inside the vehicle which led to the susceptibility of auto burglary.
