A Hillside Road resident came out early on Jan 7 and found that someone had broken into her Toyota Highland while it was parked in her driveway.

“She left it unlocked and when she came out at 5 a.m. she observed fresh vomit on the driver’s seat of her motor vehicle and the car was rummaged through,” Lawn said. “Nothing appeared to be missing.”
