Investigators are looking into a series of vehicle break-ins in Stafford County.
A sheriff's deputy was called to three streets in the county's Rockhill District after someone broke into a series of cars and stole things like an iPod, a knife, and some loose change.
The streets are Wagoneers Lane in the Colonial Forge neighborhood, and the others are Lakeland Road and Kingsley Court in the Augustine neighborhood.
During the investigation, the deputy noted three cars had been broken into during the early morning hours of Saturday, December 12. No arrests have been made in the case.
All three cars that were broken into had been left unlocked. The Stafford sheriff's office last week launched a campaign to urge drivers to lock their car doors when they leave their vehicle unattended.
"Keeping vehicles locked really cuts down on the number of thefts as thieves are looking in neighborhoods for vehicles to hit," said sheriff's spokesman Bill Kennedy.

An alarm sounded when the burglar broke in notifying the Stafford sheriff's office. Singh said fled the scene without stealing anything.Â

An semi truck reportedly overturned at the intersection of Shelton Shop and Winding Creek roads Saturday.

A Stafford sheriff's deputy was stationed on the northbound side of the two-lane Shelton Shop Road just before the crash and had blocked traffic at 11 a.m. No sheriff's deputy was present on the other side of the crash, so drivers that turned around to avoid the crash signaled to other to do the same.
