Thieves stealing steering wheels, columns in Grosse Pointe Farms

Police asking for help with investigation

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. – There is a neighborhood crime alert Tuesday (May 31) night in Grosse Pointe Farms, with police asking for help to find those responsible for targeting cars in the area.

Officials say thieves are breaking their way into Chevy Malibus and Impalas, then ripping the steering wheels and columns out of the cars.

The video player above shows some pictures of the damage.

Grosse Pointe Farms police have come across several damaged vehicles like those seen in the video.

Police also say those types of cars aren’t the only ones thieves are after -- other types of vehicles have had items reported stolen from them as well.

The video above shows a map of where those break-ins happened: the area of Kerby and Fisher roads and Chalfonte and Charlevoix avenues.

Police are asking residents in those areas to take a look at their surveillance cameras and to report anything that may help in their investigation.

Residents we spoke to off camera who have a garage say they’ll be parking inside moving forward.
