Click here to see Marcie Cipriani's report, click hereAll of the break-ins happened along on Preston Road and Texton Drive between Monday night and Tuesday morning. The thieves took credit cards and stereo systems while the victims were asleep. Police said the thieves were caught on a surveillance camera at a Brentwood Giant Eagle, the same store where at least one of the men involved used a credit card stolen from one of the six cars broken into.Larry Guthridge, one of the victims along Preston Road, said the thieves took two of his credit cards.“My wife looked out and seen my gas cap was open. And she went out and looked in my truck and the console was open and my visor was down, where I left my wallet like a dummy,” said Guthridge.North Versailles police said each of the cars hit were left open, but area residents like Allen Wagner said that's not unusual.“Nothing ever happens up here. It's a closed-end community, two dead ends, so there's not much traffic. Very seldom are the police up here,” Wagner said.Detective Joseph Volker of North Versailles Police said it's hard to know where the thieves are from, since they used the credit cards they found all over the Pittsburgh area.“At the Shell gas station in Clairton, the clerk took down a license plate of the vehicle they were in and it came back a stolen vehicle out of Upper St. Clair,” said Volker.Police are asking anyone with information on the thieves to call North Versailles Police.
