Police are searching for two suspects who stole items, including a watch, an iPod and cash, from at least four unlocked vehicles during about a 15-minute span Monday in Levittown.

None of the vehicles were damaged during the break-ins.
Some of the thefts were captured on surveillance video acquired by News 12 Long Island. Police did not release video.
