Police then went to Bridgewater Court and spoke with a neighbor who told them that they saw the green BMW, which officers started the morning looking for, casually driving through their neighborhood before stopping at their neighbor's house.

The suspects entered the woman's open garage, went into the home via an unlocked interior door, and made their way into the kitchen, according to police.

Once inside, the suspects tossed through kitchen drawers and then left stealing the homeowner's purse which had her wallet, credit cards, cash, and a debit card inside of it.

The suspects then stole the key fob for the Audi Q8 and drove off in it, along with the stolen BMW.

Jackson Police said that the BMW was later found and recovered in Newark, however, the Audi Q8 has not yet been found.
