Several unlocked vehicles were allegedly burglarized over the weekend in Hays.

Hays Police Chief Don Scheibler said personal items were stolen from five cars after a suspect allegedly engaged in 'car surfing,' moving from car to car.

The burglaries occurred on Oak Street, East 19th Street, East 17th Street, and East 16th Street between Friday and the early hours of Saturday.

Personal items such as purses and credit cards were taken, Scheibler said. Some were recovered nearby after being discarded by the suspect, who only kept desired items.

No arrests have been made. 

Scheibler reminds residents to lock their vehicles and avoid leaving valuable items inside, especially with upcoming holidays.

If you have any information about the Friday and Saturday burglaries, please call 785-625-1011.
