Locked Car Broken Into at Winslow Dog Park; Windows Smashed as Owner Walked Dog

A vehicle was broken into this morning around 11:30 AM at Winslow Dog Park, according to the vehicle’s owner. While walking their dog, the locked car’s passenger side window was smashed, and the center console was rummaged through by an unknown criminal. The Westport Police Department were contacted to investigate.

This is not the first time a dog walker’s car has been broken into during the day, but one of several instances over the past year of locked cars having their windows smashed and their valuables taken while using the park. It’s unknown if there have been any surveillance cameras or other taken to protect the parking lot, located on Compo Road North near Post Road East.
