The Clinton Police Department is investigating a string of car burglaries that happened on the night/morning hours of Dec. 7 in the Commerce Street area. The suspects are targeting unlocked motor vehicles parked in dimly lit driveways. 

Items stolen are wallets, cash, loose coins, small electronics devices (GPS, iPods, iPhones, etc…) and credit cards which have been left unsecured in the passenger compartments of the vehicles. One vehicle was stolen that had the car keys in the vehicle.
