Police: Would-be car thieves foiled when cars won't start

Posted on Thu, Jul 19, 2012 : 11:05 a.m.

Two vehicles that were apparently targeted by would-be car thieves in the 3000 block of Roundtree Boulevard in Ypsilanti Township remain safely with their owners today, police said.

Deputies from the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the attempted theft of two Dodge Neons in the early morning hours of Wednesday.

The windows were broken out and ignitions tampered with in what appears to be an attempt to start them, but the vehicles did not start.

Nothing was stolen from the cars, police said.

There are no suspects at this time. Police continue to investigate.
