BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:

People in this South Omaha neighborhood are still worried after waking up and finding blood on their cars last week.

I’m Maria Osnaya at the corner of 27th and I Street.

A video a neighbor captured on their ring camera last week shows a man walking on I street appearing to check car doors.

The next morning neighbors found blood in and outside of their cars. They say it appears someone went through their belongings.

South Omaha resident Joey Castellanos was shocked.

“Never ever have I ever experienced something like that…there were trails of blood,” said Castellanos.

He has lived here for 25 years and says he’s frustrated with an increase in crimes like this in the past few years.

“We lock our cars at night, we have cameras on our house, we didn’t have to do that before,” added Castellanos.

Police were provided with video evidence but neighbors here say they are still waiting to hear back from them.
