10 cars broken into in Clayton neighborhood on Thanksgiving

At least 10 cars were broken into Thanksgiving morning in a Clayton neighborhood, according to police.

According to the Clayton Police Department, in addition to the 10 break-ins, three cars were stolen, all with keys left inside. The break-ins occurred Thursday morning in the Ashcroft neighborhood near downtown Clayton.

A young person was arrested and a single car was recovered, said police, who expect more arrests.

Limited details were shared, but home surveillance video shows what appears to be a group of teenagers walking around a Clayton neighborhood and going through cars.

Keturah Ferrara-Caban is devastated her car was stolen, because it had her late grandmother's rosary hanging from the rearview mirror.

"When I ran outside, I saw just the one car," Ferrara-Caban said. "I'm trying not to freak out, not to panic."

Ferrara-Caban said her hands were full, and that's why she left the car unattended.

"I kind of just had my hands full," she said. "I kept saying to myself, 'OK, I'm going back to the car [to] grab everything from the car.'"

Some very special items inside were lost.

"My grandmother had passed away," she said. "Before she passed, I had her rosary and necklaces. I always kept saying, 'Grandma's watching over me.' I'm not going to be able to get [that] back."

"I was in complete disbelief," added Keturah's wife, Gina Ferrara-Caban.

The couple said their 7-year-old son is traumatized.

"We grew up in New York. We were raised to look over your shoulder," Gina Ferrara-Caban said. "Coming here, we thought it would be different."

The couple had planned to travel but stayed home instead.

"The crazy thing is we thought about going to see family for the day," Gina Ferrara-Caban said. "We were back and forth. We were like, 'Let's just have a relaxing Thanksgiving.'"

Gina Ferrara-Caban said her entire family is now on alert.

"They felt comfortable enough to come onto our property, into our driveway. Who knows if they're going to wait until a year from now, when we let our guards down again, and come back."
