SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Almost 100 cars have been broken into within the last month in Springfield.

Springfield Police said the thieves are targeting cars parked outside of homes and businesses in all parts of the city.

No arrests have been made and authorities are asking for the public's help in finding who is responsible.

"That's an extraordinary amount of break-ins, usually we don't get anything like that in town," said Sgt. David Lewis with Springfield Police.

Authorities said thieves are using different methods which include busting windows, using shaved keys, or simply getting in through unlocked doors.

Police believe one group is behind all the break-ins

"There's one indication that they're on bicycles or in the vehicle so they're out of the area before we get there," Sgt. Lewis said.

Springfield resident Shawna Haynes' car was broken into almost a month ago in the driveway of her parents' T Street home.

"I just kind of walked and I felt crunching and I looked down and saw glass everywhere," Haynes said. "Then I looked up and realized we're not going to breakfast."

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Violence erupted last year at a mobile home on Harbor Drive, where a man was shot and nearly died.

One of the suspects remains at large.

Now, the case and the manhunt for David Friend hits the national spotlight again.

No one more than Amy Buell wants to see Friend in custody. She was there that day.

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - New business is fermenting in downtown Springfield, in more ways than one.  
It's going to be a new brew pub and restaurant on Main Street, and the owner said it's no gamble. 

City permits are pending for the new Plank Town Brewing Company.

For many years, the downtown Springfield bar scene was nothing to brag about. Now, a Eugene brew-pub owner is ready to try his luck across the freeway, and he said this will be different.

It's a long way from Springfield to East Grand Forks, Minnesota--but brew pub owner Bart Caridio is about to connect the dots.

"Famous bar there from the prohibition era...Whitey's Wonderbar," says Caridio.

That's a place near his old North Dakota college campus. Caridio plans to build his Whitey's at a former Springfield institution, Ruthie B's.

"This place just, yeah, captivated me," explained Caridio.

Caridio is co-owner of Sam Bond's Garage in Eugene and the Axe & Fiddle pub in Cottage Grove. He thinks the market is right in Springfield for Plank Town Brewery Company.
