SUMMARY: As the holidays approach, a South St. Louis County neighborhood is on alert after a recent string of car break-ins. Around 2:30 AM, four suspects were captured on surveillance cameras as they ransacked parked vehicles, stealing items like headphones and medication. Local resident Aaron Bill, whose security footage documented the incident, feels uneasy about the increasing crime. While he and others express frustration, they note the neighborhood’s generally safe reputation. Bill recalls a similar incident from last year, where the juvenile suspects were eventually caught and certified as adults for harsher penalties. Residents hope for increased security.

Aaron Vilcek said it’s happened again: Suspects were captured on surveillance cameras pulling on car door handles in the middle of the night on Wickershire Lane in south St. Louis County.

“It’s that time of the year,” he said.
