Police are investigating at least 50 car break-ins around West Berkeley.
A video from social media on Friday by the Aquatic Apartment complex on Fourth Street depicts the damage.
Car after car has at least one window smashed out.
The Berkeley Police Officers Association says the break-ins are tied to the same overnight crew.

Illegal migrants angry because Berkeley residents haven’t invited them to stay in their homes?
Sounds a lot more like Oakland than Berkeley.
Repair-ations!
Let me guess: it’s them again, Yogi.
Or 💯%.
But even more cars weren’t broken into in Berkeley.
Bezerkeley is turning into the next Oakland.
What the heck, why are there even 50 cars in Beserkley? Even the most red of the commies haven’t bought into the climate hoax and reverted to Skate Boards?
“”Car after car has at least one window smashed out.””
So, did some cars have more than one window ‘smashed out’ while other cars had ONLY one window ‘smashed out?’
What happened to all the cries and protests for total, complete equity in all things great and small?
C’mon, Man!
From now on, all the social workers that the left want, instead of police, will make sure that the ‘windows smashed out’ equity quotient is strictly enforced. If more than 50% of cars have 2 or more windows smashed out, then a Berkeley nonprofit will receive enough funding to hire enough window smashers to achieve the necessary, fair amount of smashed windows on each and every vehicle. Only when the window-smashed equity is established can we all truly be free.
Teslas have a camera that records when some one is close to their car. It caught the boys smashing windows one by one and looking inside, taking was was readily available.
Using the video, the cops found the boys at a near-by gas station. They quickly drove away.
The cops could not give chase. Washington has a law that prohibits cops to from pursuing cars that have occupants who did property crimes. It is thought that such pursuits become high speed ones and risk other drivers and/or pedestrians.
Criminals know- whether smash and grabs or car thefts - all they have to do is leave the scene of the crime at a high speed.
Oakland is right next door to Berkeley. Oaklanderites wouldn't have to go far to engage in mischief in Berkeley.
Blue America. Diversity is strength! Celebrate and embrace other cultures!
When I was a student at Berkeley, living not far from the campus, the battery was stolen from my car (it was parked in the parking garage of the apartment building, not on the street). It was an old car so it was easy to open the hood. This was more than 40 years ago.
“Auto insurance zones” with more car thefts mean higher rates to us.
“Your ZIP code may have high rates of crime-related car insurance claims, including:
Vandalism
Break-ins
Accident rates
Car theft”
RE: must be making a killing in Cali...
Local gang leader: “Anybody making a killing around here is under my rule.”
RE: I am amazed that there is no video available from surveillance cameras. They probably show the usual suspects and the local media cannot show that.
Yes, the camera views had some kind of technical issues. The suspects all looked dark. Must have been flaws in the system.
Like an old snapshot where the flash didn’t go off right.
Almost every outlet has surveillance video.
Been going on for years. Had one car broken into in downtown SF. Drove it back to Kansas for a replacement.
Whoever released that video should be arrested.
