Valley Center Police have arrested a juvenile in relation to an ongoing investigation into an increase in car break-ins across the city. Police said suspects have stolen one car and one firearm and broken into several other vehicles in three main areas over the last week. They believe all the incidents are related. Dannielle Ritter’s rental car was stolen from her house. She said it was a reminder not to get too comfortable in a small town. “It was a little bit more stressful since it wasn’t our car,” Ritter said. “We were worried about what exactly that… would… the repercussions would be.” Police are asking residents to lock their cars and take their valuables inside, including their keys. Captain Matt Vogt said they believe the suspects are targeting unlocked vehicles and firearms.
