Shaker Heights police have caught a man who was walking through the Shaker Heights neighborhood and stealing from unlocked garages and driveways. 

According to police, 21-year-old Brian Newton of Cleveland was caught Monday night at a local hotel. Newton had walked through yards and stole items from unlocked cars and garages, prompting authorities to ask residents to lock up, light up and look out. 

Police said locking a door, leaving outside lights on and looking outside when noises are heard will greatly help to prevent crime.
