The Meade County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to lock their vehicles after more than a dozen car burglaries were reported overnight in the Black Hawk area. Deputies say suspects targeted unlocked vehicles, and in several cases, nothing was taken — but two firearms were stolen from cars that had been left unsecured.
Investigators also found vehicles with keys still inside. The Sheriff’s Office is reminding the public to lock doors, remove keys, and never leave firearms in unattended vehicles.
Deputies have collected video from multiple locations and are asking anyone with surveillance footage of suspicious activity to contact the Meade County Sheriff’s Office.
