The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents in the Town of Thompson to lock their vehicles at night and be on the lookout for suspicious persons.

Deputies investigated a rash of larcenies last week from cars that were parked at Kinnebrook Estates off of state route 17B in Monticello. Last night (9/2/15) thieves struck again, this time at the Emerald Green subdivision in Rock Hill. “It appears that just about every unlocked car in Emerald Green was ransacked last night”, said Undersheriff Eric Chaboty.

“We are encouraging citizens to be extra vigilant and call 911 immediately if they see anything suspicious.”

On Tuesday, deputies investigated the theft of a white 1991 GMC Sonoma pickup truck from Cimarron Road. The truck was taken during the power outage that affected most of Sullivan County that evening.

The Undersheriff said that deputies will be stepping up patrols in these areas overnight. Anyone with information on these incidents are encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Patrol at 845-794-7100 or the Sheriff’s Confidential TIPS Line at 845-807-0158. All calls will be kept confidential.
