Binghamton Police say there are increasing reports that burglars are stealing things like lawnmowers, bikes, gas grills, and snow blowers.

The crimes have been happening during both night and day.

Investigators say the thieves may be operating by slowly driving a pickup truck through neighborhoods so the culprits can look in people's yards.
