Police investigate area car stereo thefts
Lawrence police, in cooperation with several other agencies, are investigating a series of thefts of car stereo equipment possibly committed by individuals, a Lawrence police officer said this week.
Ron Olin, crime analyst officer for the Lawrence police department, said, "It's possible that out of one every six car stereo units, a lot are attributed to a specific method of operation."
Olin said the thefts were defined by distinct characteristic, including the way the cars were entered and the way the car was driven. The pattern has been repeated in other areas.
Because the crimes are still under investigation, Olin said that he could not release detailed information about the
thefts but that several suspects were being investigated.
"We are looking at the thefts as a whole. We do it with all crimes," he said.
OLIN ALSO SAID there was a pattern to the type of equipment that has been stolen, although hd did not release the specific brand name.
The high demand for AM-FM car radios has made them prime prey for their theft. said Mr. Cohen, the founder of one seventh of the item's list price, but that police had not begun an investigation into thefts.
Since the beginning of the year, 299 cap accessory thefts have been committed, according to police records. Ohn said he has no doubt that more than one percent have an increase in this type of crime
"A LARGE NUMBER of these incidents are related to students," Olin said. "The suspects, however, are not related to the University."
because last year's figures have not been broken down to a nine month period .
Olin said there was no particular reason for the arrest, but he recommended prevent a theft, but he recommended locking car doors and keeping a copy of the serial numbers for identification of stolen vehicles.
In addition to the basic steps, Olm said people should be attentive and notice suspicious behavior, copy license tag information, and the police if a theft has been committed.
"I can say with a great deal of certainty that there have been witnesses in some of the cases," he said.

Police start ride-along program
Staff Reporter
Thirty third-year law students will be able to ride with Lawrence police officers to get a first hand look at how policemen handle crimes while on patrol beginning Monday.
"Any law student who might someday want to be a criminal lawyer could more easily talk to police officers if he knows more about their job," he said.
This is the first such program for KU law students and for the Lawrence Police Department, Lonnie Rose, assistant detective. He said he will help Aid Clinic in Hall, said yesterday.
The students enrolled in the Legal Aid Clinic class, Rose said, which gives a
student the opportunity to practice law under the guidance of a local lawyer.
He said the students represent qualified clients in landlord-tenant cases, consumer affairs, criminal misdemeasure, domestic disputes and welfare cases.
In addition, the students will get practical training in computer use and the police program. Rose said that no more than two students could ride at the same time and that they would spend four to six hours each day.
Darrel Stephens, assistant Police Chief, and Randy Rock, training officer, are coordinating the program with Rose.
Rock said the program would benefit both the student and the police department, although the officer would be busy doing his
job and the student probably would learn more.
"The ride-along program furthers cooperation between the law school and the police department, but it also will give the officer a perspective of a policeman's job," Rock said.
"The student can learn the discretion involved in being a police officer, the decisions he might make at the scene of a crime, and the ways that they could be like on the TV or a courtroom," he said.
Students will ride with different ranking officers, Rock said. In case of an armed robbery, bar fight or domestic fight the student could go with the officer and but in some calls to the scene of a potentially dangerous prison, the student would remain in the car.
