A series of auto burglaries took place Tuesday in Rancho Bernardo, according to the San Diego police Northeastern Division Facebook page.

At about 1 a.m. officers from the Northeastern Division responded to a report of an auto burglary in progress in the 11200 block of Paseo Montanoso, which is off Camino del Norte just west of I-15. After arriving, it was determined that three separate car burglaries had occurred. According to witnesses, the suspects were three males in a silver, gray or tan older model BMW 7 series with a partial plate of 3FPN???. The males were seen breaking into three different vehicles by two separate witnesses. Two of the vehicles were work vans and one was a Toyota 4Runner. The suspects fled the scene in an unknown direction.

Several hours later, Northeastern Officers responded back out to the same area to investigate five additional car burglaries.
