Police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down the suspects who stole dozens of items from unlocked cars and open garage doors in Clearfield early Sunday morning.

The burglars walked around the area of 300 North and Barlow Street to 800 North and 775 West trying car doors to see which would open. They stole iPods, GPS locators, stereos and other valuables. They also opened garages where the doors were opened. About 35 vehicles were burgled, and the thefts all took place between 4 and 7 a.m., said Sgt. Kyle Jeffries of the Clearfield Police Department.

Police were able to track the thieves’ footprints in the snow, but it appears they got into a vehicle and drove off.

"We would also ask that all citizens lock their vehicles and garage doors every night so that thieves cannot have such easy access to steal from them," Jeffries said.

If anyone has any information about the burglaries, contact Clearfield Police at (801) 525-2806.
