GATES, N.Y. (WHEC) — Gates Police say work vans were the target of thieves overnight.

Police say the thieves stole tools from two separate work vans on Lori Lane.

Then at 5:30 a.m. Friday, a Wolcott Avenue homeowner found a person sitting inside their vehicle.

That suspect ran away.

They said thieves also like to target work vans when contractors go into the Gates Home Depot to buy supplies.
