Map of vehicle break-ins in Waterloo between May 18 and June 8. (Source: Waterloo Regional Police) A 29-year-old Kitchener woman and a 36-year-old Cambridge man are facing a long list of charges connected to a series of vehicle break-ins over the last month in Waterloo. Waterloo Regional Police said nine vehicles were targeted in the Northdale area between May 18 and June 8. Cash, licence plates, personal identification and bank cards were stolen out vehicles that were parked on the street, in driveways or parking garages. On May 25, a vehicle was broken into at a parking garage on Regina Street North. The thieves took several debit and credit cards and then used the cards to buy items at unnamed stores in Waterloo. 'We encourage you, again, to remove these items from your vehicle,' Const. Brad Hickey said, in an interview earlier this week. 'Don't leave them in your parked vehicles if you can. And we also really encourage you, especially with the bank cards and credit cards. We encourage members of the public to be checking their bank statements, their online banking, just to ensure that there's no suspicious activity, or your credit cards and bank cards haven't been compromised and are being used.' The two people face a total of 13 charges: Break and Enter to commit indictable offence (theft) Mischief under $5,000 Possession of Stolen Property under $5,000 Theft of Credit Card (three counts) Use of Credit Card (three counts) Failure to comply with a Judicial Release Order (two counts) Failure to comply with a Probation Order (two counts) Both are being held in custody until a bail hearing. In a media release Thursday, police thanked the public for their assistance with the investigation.
