Saxony: Thefts from cars: Do not leave bags in the car

Freiberg (dpa/sn) - The police have again warned against leaving bags and valuables in the car. On Saturday alone, the police in the Freiberg region were reported seven cases in which car windows were smashed and bags stolen, including in Freiberg, Hainichen and Großschirma. Often the cars were parked at cemeteries. The damage is estimated at several thousand euros. "Thieves only need seconds to smash a window and get their loot," said Chemnitz police spokeswoman Jana Ulbricht on Sunday. A connection between the acts will be examined, it said.
