Charlottesville Police say they are investigating a rash of cars that were stolen or broken into early Sunday morning.

Investigators say they were tipped off when three people called them all reporting their cars had been stolen from their driveways or off the street. Police say the thefts happened between midnight and 8 a.m. in the Greenbrier neighborhood.

Police say they are looking for a red 2001 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck with Virginia license plate ADK-7935.
