On Friday, Oct. 4, police issued an advisory after several accounts of theft from work vans, said Rowena White, spokeswoman for the Bridgeport Police Department.
Most of the thefts included tools from vehicles across the city, police said.
"Citizens are advised to take the time to remove tools from their vehicles at the end of a workday and secure them in a shed or garage if a vehicle must be left on the street," said White.
Police are also asking residents to record serial numbers and take photographs of tools so that, in the event, they are stolen, police have an increased chance of locating them and returning items to their owner, White said.
Anyone with information about who might be responsible for these thefts is asked to call the Bridgeport Police Department Tips Line at 203-576-TIPS (8477).
