Rash of car wheel thefts expand to Walnut Creek

Add Walnut Creek to the list of Bay Area communities now being targeted by car wheel thieves. Last week, vehicle owners in Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, and Petaluma also reported their vehicles stripped down to their hubs. Similar to the crimes in Sonoma County, police in Walnut Creek say the thieves are striking apartment complexes, mostly at night, and targeting Honda and Toyota models.
