Lincoln Police are reminding residents to keep valuables out of sight when they are left inside a vehicle. Sergeant Chris Vollmer says they were called to the Victress Gym near 14th and Yankee Hill Road around 6:30 Tuesday morning to investigate a theft.
An arriving officer spoke with a 38 year old woman who said she locked her her vehicle while she was in the gym for approximately an hour. “Upon returning to her vehicle she observed the front passenger window shattered and her purse removed from the front passenger seat,” Vollmer says.
The damage to the van is estimated at $200. He says the loss of purse and the items inside of it is about $174. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to contact Lincoln Police at 402-441-6000 or Lincoln Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
