Bedford police are investigating three car thefts that took place last weekend, according to Police Lieutenant Jeffrey Dickan. Police are unsure whether they are related incidents. 

The first theft took place on July 6 between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. An unlocked car was broken into on Chestnut Ridge Road in Bedford Hills. The owner, an apparent hiker headed to Butler Sanctuary, reported the stolen items included a cel phone, an iTtouch, a phone charger, an Apple radio adapte and a set of keys.

The second theft reportedly took place on the same day between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Reservoir Road in Katonah. A pocketbook, wallet and $300 in cash were among the items missing when the victim returned from walking a dog.
