WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. — The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office is investigating a string of car thefts and entry into unlocked vehicles.

Police say other local Waukesha County police agencies are reporting similar activity. Nearly all the cars were taken after the vehicle's keys or key fobs were left inside the unlocked vehicle.
The sheriff's office will be increasing its patrols and is encouraging the public to secure their vehicles and ensure all valuables are out of sight.
