Police said that they think two people are casing out parking lots near West Broad and Interstate 270.

According to police, the couple has been casing out west side parking lots and fencing whatever they find for cash to buy drugs, CrimeTracker10's Angela An reported.

"Intelligence we're gathering right now, we think they are hitting anywhere from 8-10 cars a day," Franklin County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Jason Ronk said.

Ronk said that the two have been using a method that had been gaining popularity among criminals.

Ronk said that he was not giving away trade secrets, but wanted to equip car owners with information they need to protect themselves and their belongings, An reported.

According to Ronk, the best way to protect yourself from this new type of car robbery is to leave nothing behind.
