Deputies said it’s likely they are connected because the suspects used the same modus operandi by smashing out the windows.
The suspects stole purses, cash, gift cards and other valuables.

The Sheriff’s Office recommends leaving any valuables at home and just bring your driver’s license, one card and some cash.
If you have to put something in the trunk, deputies suggest doing it before you get to the parking lot.
