The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to keep their garages closed after a vehicle was stolen in Waverly late Thursday night. Chief Deputy Ben Houchin says the 2012 Chevy Captiva had been stolen around 11:00 Thursday night.
“It was parked in the garage, the garage door was open and the keys were left in it.” Houchin says the silver SUV had the words “Big John” in big red lettering on the back bumper. He says during the summer they seem to have issues like this in Waverly and Hickman.
“A lot of times they’re driving around and looking for easy targets and a lot of times they are younger. Please don’t help these thieves get your car stolen.” Houchin also says with the extreme heat this weekend don’t leave your car running to keep it cool.
