Early Wednesday morning, just prior to 1 a.m., law enforcement responded to a report regarding an individual acting suspiciously while inspecting vehicles in the Lockhart subdivision of Collingwood.
According to officials, the individual was spotted exiting a Dodge Durango and examining a parked car with a flashlight before vacating the premises.
