The vehicle, which had the doors locked, had been accessed through an open sunroof. Items within the vehicle were stolen, including a wallet containing credit cards. One of the stolen credit cards was fraudulently used at the Target department store in Hadley, MA.

While the responsibility for criminal behavior rests solely with the perpetrator(s), UMPD encourages our community to take the following precautions to prevent similar crimes:
- Lock your vehicle. Do not leave your vehicle unlocked, even if only for a few minutes. Be sure to check your doors, windows, sunroof, trunk, or any other access point to make sure they are secure before you leave the area.
- Do not leave valuables in your vehicle. If you must leave items in your vehicle, do not leave them in a place where they are plainly visible. Register all your valuables with UMPD's Project Protect.
