NORWOOD, OH (FOX19) -
Norwood
Police is issuing a warning to drivers after two vehicles are stolen.
Wednesday morning, a Ralston
Avenue resident left their unlocked 2007 brown Honda Civic running in their driveway to
warm it up. A thief came by and stole it.
That's not the first time this
has happened this month.
Police say a Kia Sorenta was
left running in front of a residence on Hunter Avenue. It was also stolen.
Luckily, it was quickly
recovered when the owner noticed it around town. Unfortunately, the suspect ran
from the scene and police have yet to track him down.
Lt. Tom Williams with Norwood
PD said that they often see cars running unattended at gas stations, grocery
stores and fast food places.
"The weather is very cold
and nobody likes to get in a freezing cold car but when you start your car and
leave it unattended you are giving a thief an open invitation," the chief
posted on theNorwood
Police Facebook page. "It is also against law to leave your car
running unattended on the street."
Norwood police say Green
Township is investigating a similar case.
If you see the Civic, call
Norwood Police at (513) 458-4520.
