CUMMING — A string of car break-ins last week along Market Place Boulevard in Cumming left several drivers with broken windows and missing belongings after they went shopping or to dinner.

According to a series of incident reports from Cumming police, eight vehicles were targeted between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. Feb. 10, apparently by the same suspect or suspects.

Complainants who reported the incidents were parked at PetSmart, Outback Steakhouse, Provino’s Italian Restaurant, Michael’s, Longhorn Steakhouse and Taco Mac, all of which are along Market Place, a bustling retail corridor near Ga. 400 in Cumming.

Nothing was taken from half of the vehicles, though the cars themselves were damaged in the break-in attempts.

Most of the vehicles had the rear passenger window, which was facing away from the buildings, smashed. Some also had door handles and seals damaged by an apparent attempt to pry open locked doors.

Only one vehicle was not damaged because it was unlocked.

Items taken from the vehicles included backpacks, laptops, tax information, a GPS unit and ammunition.

Video surveillance was not available at most of the locations, though police did remove a center console from one vehicle to find fingerprints.

No suspects have been named in the case, which remains open.
