ST. PETERS, Mo. — Police in St. Peters and Maryland Heights are investigating after dozens of cars were broken into on the parking lots of an Amazon facility and Ranken Jordan Sunday morning.
St. Peters police said they got a call at around 4:15 a.m. to report that nearly 40 cars on the Amazon parking lot on Premier Parkway had windows broken and some of them had property stolen from inside.
A spokeswoman from the St. Peters Police Department said security video showed a dark-colored sedan pulling onto the lot and several people breaking out windows.
The spokeswoman said a majority of the victims were working at the warehouse at the time of the incident. She said the department is still trying to get into contact with some of the victims to figure out what property was taken.
Valerie Hoven, the director of ancillary services at Ranken Jordan, said 20 cars were broken into on one of their parking lots Sunday morning. She said the cars belonged to Ranken Jordan workers and a patient family.
"We care for children with medical complexities, and they depend on the team of nurses, doctors, therapists, cooks, and support services to care for them," Hoven said. "After a week of battling the weather, our employees ended the weekend with smashed car windows."
Hoven said the hospital is cooperating with the investigation by the Maryland Heights police department.
