New Britain police are searching for two burglars who hit cars on the city’s west side.
Police said the suspects were able to get into several cars and able to get away with valuables.
It happened in the early morning of Wednesday last week. Several surveillance cameras captured the pair at work.
In the videos, the men are seen checking to see if vehicles were left open and then entered those that had been unlocked.
“I would have never suspected that someone would try to come to this neighborhood out of all neighborhoods. I would, that shocked me to be honest,” neighbor Chris Maura, said.
“I was kind of freaked out about it. To know that these things are happening while I’m asleep,” neighbor Kevin Desjardins, said. “I keep my doors locked to my house and my car but after seeing the video I’m convinced they tried my car doors too.”
Neighbors say several cars were targeted on the west side of town, on Stanwood Drive and Kerin Drive.

Police were not able to say the total number of cars hit or how much was taken.
People who live in the area say they will be careful.
“I am really precautious so I do generally keep my car locked. But we generally have three to four cars in the park, driveway. So I’ll make sure my friends lock their cars for sure,” says Mauro.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
