Series of break-ins at hotels near Pa. Turnpike

CRANBERRY, Pa. — There have been a series of break-ins at hotels right off Interstate 79, the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Route 19 in Cranberry Township.

Police are looking through surveillance videos to try and figure out who is responsible.

At least nine vehicles were broken into; some where unlocked and others had the windows broken out.

"We had about nine overnight," said Sgt. Chuck Mascellino of Cranberry Township police. "Some of the cars were open, others locked, a few the windows were broken out."

Police believe the thieves were looking for quick cash, and got a hold of purses and other valuables people left inside their vehicles.

"It doesn’t matter if you’re staying at a hotel or if you were just out -- don’t leave your purses or your stuff in your car. Don’t be a target," Mascellino said.
