A resident was awoken at around 2:40 a.m. by a noise and looked out the window to see someone driving his car away, the Hour reported. Police told the Hour that a group of juveniles had gone into the home at some point, which was unlocked, taken the keys, and used them to steal the Mercedes Benz in the driveway. 

Police responded to the area and spotted the Mercedes, as well as a BMW that had been stolen from Fairfield, the Hour reported.
