Thieves are targeting cars at Lexington parks.
Lexington Police released photos of a woman who they say are behind at least fifteen car break-ins and thefts at Shillito Park and Cardinal Run Park going back to mid-September. They believe she is working with two men.
In August, police were looking for a group connected to similar crimes at the same parks, but those people were caught.
“This is the same type of method of operation that we’re used to, with some of these other groups we’ve run into throughout the summer,” said Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department.

Police say these new thieves do more than just take cash, credit, cards, and valuables.
“When they’re taking the credit cards and the checkbooks, this group is even going so far as to use the credits cards and the checks, to write checks to themselves and just cash those,” said Detective Thomas.
The woman was seen on surveillance footage cashing a stolen check at a bank.
The group has been seen in a white pick-up truck, possibly a Nissan Frontier, and a black, Nissan Maxima.
