The Cheltenham Police Department is asking the public for assistance in identifying two suspects who broke into a vehicle in Elkins Park in the early morning of May 24. 

In the video footage released by the Cheltenham Police Department, two suspects wearing all black, including black hooded sweatshirts, can be seen walking down the street in a suspicious manner.

One suspect walks from the sidewalk around the front of the car to gain access through the driver’s seat. The second suspect can been seen walking around a second vehicle parked in front of the vehicle that the first suspect entered. 

“We know identification may be difficult but also would like to use this video as a reminder to lock your vehicle doors,” Cheltenham Police Department wrote. “As you can see, they are walking down the street looking in vehicles and trying door handles.”

Cheltenham Police are reminding its residents that it is imperative that you do not leave valuables, key fobs, or anything that someone may think is worth stealing in your vehicle. It’s also reminding residents to keep your car doors locked at all times.

If you have any information leading to the identity of these two individuals, please contact Cheltenham Township Police Detectives at 215-885-1600 x499 or via email at [email protected].
