Parking lots in South Lake Tahoe on Tuesday keep being hit by burglars.

The suspects started at 10am Jan. 2 at iHop where a black leather tote ad MacBook were stolen.

Then a vehicle was broken into at Denny’s. A small purse with more than $400 in it was taken.

Police officers are at the Raley’s near Stateline now, just before 2pm, getting information on the smash and grab at that parking lot.

“It appears they are going through parking lots and when they see something worth taking they smash the vehicle window,” police Lt. Shannon Laney told Lake Tahoe News.

His advice is simple – don’t leave valuables in a vehicle.

If the vehicle was locked, these crimes are automatically felonies.
