The Hays Police Department is investigating a string of vehicle burglaries that occurred early Sunday morning.

The investigation began on Sunday with a report at 7:20 a.m. of damage to a vehicle the 2500 block of Felton, according to HPD Lt. Brandon Wright.

Another five vehicles in that block were reported to have been entered with another report of a vehicle entered into on the 1200 block of Motz.

Four of the seven vehicles entered had windows broken to gain access, Wright said.

“A lot of things were ransacked, but not a lot of property was taken except … there was some cash taken out of one of the vehicles,” Wright said. “I want to use this opportunity to remind people to not leave valuables in their vehicles, at least not in plain sight, and even though they smashed some windows here, to keep your vehicles locked.”

He also said it is a good idea not to leave keys in vehicles.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Hays Police at (785) 625-1030.
