ST. LOUIS – Authorities shared new video Wednesday of two suspects attempting to break into a car in St. Louis’ Shaw neighborhood.
The video comes after a series of break-ins reported in the neighborhood over the weekend. FOX 2 learned at least 20 vehicles with smashed windows.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department released video that shows two would-be suspects approaching a white car and the car alarm going off. It’s believed that the suspects got away from the scene.
“We know many residents in the Shaw neighborhood have concerns with the numerous car break-ins. We share the same concerns and we are investigating,” said SLMPD in a statement on Wednesday.
