On 2/17/2022, at approximately 1838 hours, a vehicle was stolen in the 300 Block of West Main Street. The victim had entered a restaurant to quickly pick up food, leaving the vehicle running and unlocked. 

Thankfully that vehicle was found by Police, abandoned, in a neighboring jurisdiction in Lancaster County, and is pending return to its' owner. Middletown Borough Police are currently working on identifying the suspect who stole the vehicle. 

Middletown Borough Police would like to let residents know that your vehicle(s) should remain locked and off, at all times that you are not physically with the vehicle.

Additionally,  we ask that you do not get into a habit of leaving your vehicle running unattended, EVEN if locked. This is common during cold winter months when owners are trying to start their vehicles to warm them up, and this can lead to stolen vehicles.   

Thank you! 

Middletown Borough Police
