Silverhill's police chief says somebody is making a game out of breaking into parked cars and stealing property inside the vehicles. Chief Kim Wasdin says on Tuesday night, 18 cars in the Silverhill area were hit.

"The suspect or suspects stole anything they could get their hands on," says Wasdin. "They didn't break into the cars, they were all parked and unlocked. But it's still a crime to do that."

Wasdin says everything from a handgun to prescription medication to sunglasses were stolen.

"We need people to lock their car doors at night," says Wasdin. "And this might not be the end of it. The economy is so bad, people are doing anything for money. We expect the crime rate to increase, but we'll do everything we can to stop this in Silverhill."
