Credit Cards Stolen from Unlocked Cars Outside Kiddie Academy

Thieves snatched credits cards and purses from two unlocked vehicles at Kiddie Academy in Nesconet on June 17.

Suffolk County Police received two separate phone calls reporting items were stolen from unlocked vehicles outside Kiddie Academy at 62 Lake Ave. in Nesconset between 7:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. on June 17.

In the first report, a 32-year-old woman from Nesconset said she parked her 2005 Honda Pilot in Kiddie Academy’s parking lot to drop her child off. While inside, she told police her car was left unlocked and unattended. The woman said while she was inside, someone took her credit cards and papers from her pocketbook. There was no visible damage done to the vehicle.

Police received a second call from a 26-year-old woman on June 17 also claiming items were stolen from her car outside Kiddie Academy. The woman said she parked her 2008 Nissan Rogue in Kiddie Academy’s parking lot to go inside, leaving her car unlocked and unattended. She also told police someone went into her car and took credit cards and paperwork from her purse. Again, there was no damage done to the car.

A spokesman for Kiddie Academy said the school has submitted surveillance videotape to the police. The spokesman said both the director and owner were unavailable and he didn't want to comment about the incident, as it's under investigation.

The Kiddie Academy spokesman would not release any information on the building’s security or if any changes have been made in the parking lot since the incidents were reported.

Suffolk County police said they could not determine the value of the property that was stolen. There is an ongoing investigation.
