Lexington Police are asking the public to help them identify a man they say has targeted gym locker rooms to steal car keys.
Surveillance cameras at Planet Fitness on Bryan Station Road caught a man coming into the gym and going to the locker room. Police say in the locker room he looked for keys.
“This guys MO is he’s gonna open up the lockers that are unsecured, that don’t have padlocks on them. He’s gonna take the keys out, any kind of valuables that he could find, but he was specifically looking for keys for cars parked out in the parking lot,” said Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department.

A little later that same night, police say the same man showed up to the LA Fitness on Wellington Way and, according to detectives, went to the locker room looking for keys.
They say he got away with a laptop and several wallets from inside cars.
“Gyms are one of the hot spots where we tell people, you are specifically vulnerable to these people that like to break into your cars because they know you have valuables in there and they’re going to get them,” said Thomas.
