Lafayette Police Chief Eric Christensen calls the midnight marauders stealing from cars in his city “Bears” who come to the area to rummage through his citizenry’s cars for valuables.
The problem has spiked of late, local police have noted, and Danville has not escaped the attention of the bad guys.
