MATC Public Safety has been made aware of an increase in vehicle break-ins in the 6th and Highland parking structure over the past few days. The suspects have only entered vehicles that were left unlocked between 7-11:30 p.m. The Milwaukee Police Department has been contacted and is investigating.
Vehicle break-ins of this nature are usually the result of individuals targeting vehicles for the valuables left inside.
