Clarksville police investigating rash of vehicle burglaries, thefts

The Clarksville Police Department is investigating a rash of vehicle burglaries and thefts that occurred over the weekend.

According to a news release, there were 16 reported vehicle burglaries and 10 stolen vehicles from the Clarksville area, most occurring during nighttime hours. Out of the 16 vehicle burglaries, only one showed signs of forced entry.  There were two guns stolen, a couple of laptops, credit cards, and about $150 in cash.  Many of the vehicles were rummaged through and nothing appeared to be taken.  There was one arrest made in one of the burglaries.

Of the 10 stolen vehicles, eight either had keys or fobs left in the vehicle or keys were taken without consent of the homeowner and no signs of forced entry.  Two of the vehicles were abandoned and recovered.

Clarksville police are asking for the public to check and see if they have any video surveillance of the incidents—anyone with video or information is asked to call 9-1-1 so an officer can come review it.
