WINONA, Minn. — A rash of overnight thefts from unlocked cars on city streets continued, some with niggling losses, others more serious. This time a thief rummaged through a car and made off with sunglasses and a gym bag. In another case overnight a wallet with credit cards was taken. There was an attempt to use one of the cards, but the shopkeeper declined. Police Chief Tom Williams said these cases are difficult to solve for lack of witnesses or surveillance video. Williams said there is reason to suspect a single thief because of the proximity of thefts on the Near East Side. “Same area, same time frame,” he said.
