Sheriff's Department looking into series of vehicle break-ins

The Cheyenne County Sheriff's Department is investigating numerous vehicle break-ins in Sidney.

"We started getting complaints this week," said Sheriff John Jenson.

The sheriff's office has received more complaints from the south side of town, but says that the break ins could potentially happen anywhere. The sheriff advises that the citizens of Sidney lock their cars. Anyone who keeps valuables in their vehicle should bring them inside, he said.

Most of the break-ins occurred late at night, according to Jenson's department.

If you hear strange noises or your dog starts barking, there's probably a reason, Jenson said.

"If you see anything suspicious, contact law enforcement," he added.
