In Fayetteville, there were two entering auto incidents reported in recent days.
A Sept. 15 incident involved a vehicle entered on Pavilion Parkway by punching the driver’s side lock and a first-aid kit stolen, said Fayetteville Police Department spokesperson Ann Marie Burdett.
A second entering auto incident was reported on Sept. 16.
Burdett said a woman exercising at The Ridge Nature Area on Burch Road returned to her vehicle and found a male in the area of her vehicle. The male entered a vehicle occupied by several other individuals and left the area.
The owner found a door lock punched, with credit cards stolen and miscellaneous items removed from the trunk, Burdett said.
