Police Request Help Identifying Vehicle Break-In Suspects

WEXFORD, Pa. (KDKA) -- Police are asking the public to help identify two suspects accused of breaking into several vehicles earlier this month.

According to the Northern Regional Police Department, a man and woman broke into several cars in the parking lot of the Pine Tree Shoppes on Perry Highway around 5 a.m. on June 7.

Police say the vehicles were locked, but the suspects allegedly broke the windows -- stealing credit cards, checks and drivers licenses while the victims were working out at a gym.

Authorities obtained photographs of the man and the woman after they allegedly tried to use the stolen credit cards at a bank and a grocery store.

"They went to the Giant Eagle on Camp Horne Road in Ohio Township, and they went to a PNC Bank in Connellsville," said Capt. John Sicilia of the Northern Regional Police Department.

"They did not have any luck, fortunately," he said.

Police are hoping this serves as a reminder to always lock valuables in the trunk. The suspects allegedly rummaged through the vehicles once they got inside.

They're asking anyone who can identify the suspects to call the Northern Regional Police Department's detective division at 724-625-3157.
