The Bryan Police Department is warning people: Lock your cars or be prepared to lose your valuables.

The department issued the warning after reports of 23 car break ins came in Saturday. Investigators said all of the vehicles that were broken into were left unlocked. A gun was stolen from one of the unlocked vehicles.

Most of the burglaries happened in the area of Montana and Old Hearne, according to information released by the police department. Many of the vehicles did not have anything stolen from them and police said they believe the same individual or individuals are responsible for many of the break ins due to how close the locations are to one another.
