ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pa. — (WPXI) – Thieves are targeting families along the busy Montour Trail in South Allegheny and Washington Counties and it is not sitting well with many. “It’s shocking because I literally come here all the time,” Kacy Capozzoli tells Channel 11. “I’m kind of nervous because I never thought it would happen here.” “I get angry because I wouldn’t want anyone breaking into my car,” Joseph Amico adds. On Friday, two cars were broken into in the trail parking lot off Valley Brook Road in Peters Township. Police say the suspect’s car is a black Toyota RAV4 rental car with Florida plates JAL J62. A similar incident happened at the Upper Saint Clair Rec Center not long after and police believe it may be connected. Police want to give families a warning to double-check their locks and leave valuables out of plain sight.
