The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating a series of vehicle break-ins that occurred during the early morning hours of Monday, April 13, 2026.

At approximately 2:30 a.m., the Sheriff’s Office received a report of multiple vehicles being broken into within the Countryside Subdivision in the Town of Louisa. Initial reports indicate that approximately 14 vehicles were entered, with cash and a purse reportedly stolen.

Deputies responded to the area within minutes of receiving the call and immediately conducted a search of the neighborhood and surrounding areas. Despite the rapid response, the individuals involved were not located. According to witness statements, three, possibly four individuals, all described as being dressed in black clothing, were seen moving from vehicle to vehicle, pulling on door handles and rummaging through parked cars.

Later in the morning, the Sheriff’s Office received additional calls from residents of Stonegate Terrace Apartments in Zion Crossroads reporting similar incidents involving vehicles being entered and items being disturbed or stolen. Investigators are actively working to determine whether these incidents are connected.

The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office is requesting the public’s assistance. Residents in the affected areas are encouraged to review any home security, doorbell, or vehicle camera footage from the overnight hours and early morning of April 13. Anyone who observed suspicious activity or may have video evidence is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office.
