"Our officers diligently patrol these areas but the criminals usually work in pairs with a lookout. It only takes mere seconds to shatter the glass, grab your backpack, briefcase, etc. and take off," the department wrote in a Wednesday post to Facebook.

The post made no mention of any suspects or arrests.

The department said those on the go like working professionals and students need to be extra careful.

“Since we had a high number of them yesterday, we wanted to remind everyone to protect their property and to call in suspicious activity,” the Wednesday post read.
