Investigators are asking residents and business owners to review their surveillance or dash cam footage
The Windsor Police Service is asking for the public's assistance in two auto theft investigations in west Windsor.
Officers responded to a report of an abandoned vehicle in the 5200 block of Malden Road shortly before 8 a.m. on June 26. A preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle was stolen from a residence in the 3600 block of Girardot Street, before being abandoned in a ditch along Malden.
About an hour later, police say, officers responded to an attempted vehicle theft at a residence in the 1000 block of Brock Street.
"Officers learned that a suspect had unsuccessfully attempted to steal the car, causing damage to the ignition before fleeing the scene," the service said in a Monday news release.
"These investigations remain ongoing."
Investigators are asking residents and business owners in the area bordered by Prince Road, Tecumseh Road, Huron Church Road and Millen Street to review their surveillance or dash cam footage, in the early morning hours of June 26, for video evidence that may assist with the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Target Base Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4350. They can also contact Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS).
