Police say a brazen thief, caught on Ring camera, is seen stealthily canvassing people’s driveways in Northeast Philadelphia in the middle of the night, quickly and quietly breaking into cars.
The suspect approaches another vehicle on Ernie Davis Circle and one can see the victim’s car lights flash. A Philadelphia police source says that’s the moment the thief unlocks the doors. The source says the thief is using a tool that connects to a driver’s key fob and amplifies its signal, unlocking the door from several yards away.In the video, the thief can be seen locking the car when he’s finished.
"He touched every car that was in frame of that video," Hinkle stated. "Our windows were open. It was a beautiful night and our dog didn’t even bark. He was very quiet." Making it that much more creepy. AAA says high-tech thieves are popping up all over the country. Experts say people can protect themselves by putting keys in a metal container or even wrapping them in foil to block the signal and store key fobs away from the vehicle.
"It’s kind of a shame what this area has become and you just can’t even feel safe at your own home," Hinkle added.
