COLUMBUS, Ohio — Dozens of vehicles were broken into Monday evening in northwest Columbus. outside The Mall at Tuttle Crossing, a car was stolen at the Columbus Zoo and three cars were vandalized in the parking lot of Columbus Downtown High School.
Dozens of people walked out to find their cars vandalized. “They are looking for crime of opportunity," said Columbus Police Assistant Chief LaShanna Potts."We continuously tell people don't leave your purses, your laptops, things in view. If you have a firearm, be responsible as a firearm owner. Don't leave a gun under your seat. These young men and women, that's exactly what they are looking to steal."Just down the road at Centennial High School, Columbus City Schools confirms 16 cars were broken into during a baseball game.
