MANDEVILLE, La. — Seven vehicles had their windows smashed out in front of two fitness clubs in Mandeville Wednesday morning, according to police.
The victimized vehicles were in front of the Orangetheory Fitness (5) and Crossfit Franco's (2) gyms.
The businesses occurred in the 3500 block of U.S. Highway 190.
Mandeville Police Chief Gerard Sticker said that thieves were able to get away with purses and other personal items while the victims were getting in their morning workouts.
Sticker said the incidents may be attributable to a larger ring operating in the area.
Mandeville Police said it plans to step up its presence in the areas and ask for the public to report any suspicious activity to 911 or the Mandeville Police Department at (985) 626-9711.
