Jason Rzucidlo reports LIVE from Romulus near Detroit Metro Airport
(DTW). There have been 22 incidents of theft or vandalism at hotels
near the airport over the last six months, according to police reports
obtained by AmericaJR.com. Several vehicles were stolen from these
hotel parking lots and only one was recovered. Many other vehicles
had their GPS devices and car stereos stolen. Some cars had their
windows broken and one car even had a turn signal lever broken off.
Of all these incidents, only one hotel was able to provide a surveillance
tape to police. Maybe next time, the others should remember to hit
the record button.
