A rash of auto burglaries have Starkville police officers once again warning citizens to lock their cars.
Fourteen auto burglaries were reported to the SPD between May 9-13. Lt. Mark Ballard said the vast majority of the burglaries could be chalked up to unlocked doors. He said burglars are rummaging through unmarked cars stealing everything from GPS units, to firearms, to spare change.
Some of the cars had electronic items or money in plain view, which made the vehicles easy targets.
