Warren County Sheriff's deputies are searching for a group of suspects after five vehicles were stolen from the Montclaire subdivision in Deerfield Township. Security camera footage from the subdivision shows the moments two males casually walk up to residents' cars around 2:30 a.m Monday. "They don't seem paranoid at all," says one neighbor off camera. Police say several other vehicles also had property stolen from them. All of the stolen vehicles were unlocked and had the keys left inside them."Steals a little bit of cash and some gift cards, sunglasses. Then here comes another guy," she says while watching the footage.She also explains her next-door neighbor's car was stolen, while her garage door opener was also taken."We're afraid that they may not come back but there's a chance. It's just unnerving that someone has that access to your house," she said. Neighbors say car thefts have never been a problem in this area but being a nice neighborhood might make it a target."I get the sense they aren't from close by. Probably coming in from neighboring cities or communities," said Nick Mock, a community member. According to police, the suspects used some of the credit and debit cards at the Walmart on Ferguson Road in Cincinnati. The same suspects were also seen around 6:30 a.m. in the Walmart buying gift cards, police said. One still wearing a stolen backpack. Police released images of the suspects from Walmart’s security camera Thursday. Jon Caliguri and his family safe. Caliguri said his time in college taught him car safety."I've lived in Clifton for a few years, so I always lock my doors and remove my keys from the car," he said.But Nick Mock a block away was not so fortunate. "We had some friends over that day, we moved our car onto the street, forgot to lock it, and sure enough they went through it," he said.His conversation with police ends in sound advice. The best security practice is not surveillance, but locking your car doors and taking out your keys. "Because this type of theft is prevented by showing the thieves that you're not that low-hanging fruit that they go after," Mock said.So far, police said only one of the stolen cars has been recovered. Anyone able to identify the suspects in the photos please contact Det. Mike Wyatt at 513-701-1806 or [email protected].
