PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Residents in Philadelphia's Fairmount section are on edge as police investigate a car break-in and vandalism.

It happened between midnight and 4 a.m. along the 2200 block of Park Towne Place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

Officials say a Honda was found early Thursday morning with its windows smashed and three tires stolen.

A neighbor, who did not want to be on camera, says the car belongs to a friend who is out of town.

He says a tow truck driver first alerted him to the scene before police were called.

Damage to the car is estimated at around $2,000.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
