A woman fed up with car break-ins had a plan to catch thieves in the act and make them pay, but officers told her it was a bad idea.
A Park Avenue resident called the police to ask if she hid inside her parked car armed with a ball bat and someone broke in, would it be all right to hit them.
Officers told her not to hide in her vehicle in an attempt to take out a suspect. The woman said she’d already made theft reports about break-ins with no results.
Officers made suggestions on how she could protect her vehicle.
