The Hancock Police Department is asking the public’s assistance in identifying an individual who is a suspect in the recent theft from motor vehicle cases they are investigating.
There are two suspects in the case, however, a security camera at Sheetz caught the face of one of the suspects.
The vehicle break-ins occurred in the early morning hours of Monday, December 14. According to the Hancock Police report provided by Police Chief Jim Robison, the thefts were from unlocked vehicles on Hillside Road, Taliaferro Street, Baptist Road, and Cleveland Street.
Numerous other unlocked vehicles in town were gone through overnight, but nothing was taken, Robison said in the report.
