Posen police warn residents to be cautious when warming their cars

Someone tried to get into a Posen woman's car Tuesday. The woman had left it running to warm up while she waited inside.

The Posen Police Department is warning residents to not leave their running cars unattended while warming up.

On Tuesday, police said a woman started her car and went back into her home. When she was inside, her home surveillance system recorded a black Nissan Rouge drive up.

A passenger then got out of the vehicle and ran up the driveway toward the parked car, attempting to open the door. After discovering the door was locked, the person ran back to the Nissan Rouge and fled, police said.
