Following a series of break-ins across much of Thomasville, police there say they are stepping up patrols to try and both deter the criminals and/or catch them in the act.

One such business, Georgia Crate and Basket, has been burglarized twice in the past week. On Monday night, thieves broke into the factory and destroyed two vending machines, taking the cash and merchandise from inside.

Anyone with information about these break-ins is asked to call the Thomasville PD.
