Hopkinsville Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a suspect who has been rummaging through unlocked vehicles in a city neighborhood.

A news release from Public Information Officer Paul Ray says the crook has been stealing items from vehicles in the Hunting Creek and Givens Edition areas.

Citizens in those areas are encouraged to call police if they notice anything suspicious and to always lock their vehicles. Officer Ray also encourages residents to remove valuables from vehicles to make them less of a target.
