Since Sunday, Jan. 1, there have been 87 motor vehicles stolen from different residents within the City of Norwalk, said Lt. Tomasz Podgorski of the Norwalk Police.

Of those, 55 vehicles had the keys left in the car, Podgorski said.

Norwalk Police Officers continue to work diligently to arrest suspects in these cases and locate the vehicles, he said.

"We implore the Norwalk community to always lock all car doors and remove all valuables from within," Podgorski said. "Never leave keys or fobs anywhere in the vehicle, no matter how well you think they are hidden, or even if you believe the vehicle is blocked in."
