Vehicles at trailheads in Lakes Region broken into, police say
Multiple vehicles were broken into at trailheads in Lakes Region towns, according to police.
Moultonborough police said two vehicles at the Bald Knob parking lot in town last weekend were broken into.
"They busted the window out because they could visually see that pocket book in the backseat of the vehicle," said Officer Harold Chastain with the Moultonborough Police Department.
Hearing about the smash and grabs after driving up from Massachusetts made hikes like Samuel Royston a little on edge.
"Uhh.. not exactly great to hear about," Royston said.

There was another break-in at a trailhead in Tuftonboro but police aren't questioning if it's connected or not.
"I think they are because it's kind of a pattern there and a straight shot from 171," Chastain said.
Three cars were broken into in Plymouth at the Walter Newton Conservation area, according to Plymouth police. Items were taken from two of the vehicles, and one had it's window smashed.
Police are advising people to keep their cars locked and keep belongings safe and hidden.
"Any electronics, I would secure those in the trunk or in fact just leave them at home," Chastain said.
