24 more cars burglarized in Orange County

Break-ins come day after more than 60 cars hit in county

ORLANDO, Fla. – A rash of car burglaries continues in Orange County, with more than 20 vehicles broken into overnight Thursday at five businesses.

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, 24 cars were burglarized from 10 p.m. Thursday to 1:40 a.m. Friday.

Deputies said the culprits forced entry into the vehicles at the following locations:

  • 6101 Chancellor Drive (Inktel Orlando) 
  • 7423 Southland Drive (Home Depot) 
  • 1700 Directors Row (Pepsi) 
  • 8801 Exchange Drive (Fresh Point) 
  • 2002 Directors Row (Central Moving & Storage)

Deputies said there's no known description of the assailants.

John Christie works at Central Moving and Storage, where two cars were burglarized. He said an Apple Watch was stolen from one of the vehicles.

"They just make a mess and they just don't care. They don't have sympathy for people it seems like nowadays," Christie said.

The other vehicle that was broken into belongs to an employee who is on vacation.

"He left his car here for the week knowing it would be safe instead of at home, now we are trying to get a hold of him to tell him his car was broken into," Christie said.

Earlier this week, more than 60 vehicles were burglarized at four separate locations in Orange County, about 6 miles away from the most recent break-ins. No arrests have been made.
