CRIME ALERT
On 10/6/22 between 530-630am, numerous subjects entered the City of Berkley, with intent on criminal Activity.
There were two vehicles stolen (one Recovered in Ferndale after brief pursuit), one Steering Wheel, and other attempted larcenies & Car theft attempts.
It appears the group was working with numerous individuals, as they were traveling in groups of 3-4 cars up and down the side streets, while examining their targets. The suspects arrived in Jeep Cherokee's, but also used vehicles they stole to move around in. Numerous home security cameras are coming in to assist in vehicle / suspect identification.

Other vehicles, were left unlocked with keys inside.
AS ALWAYS.... Do NOT leave anything of value in your car, especially the keys. Lock your doors. Leave Porch lights on at night, set up security cameras, be alert when the dogs bark or things "just don’t seem right" and contact BDPS. Hardening is a term we use to make it difficult for the criminal to get away with crimes.
