“Many of these incidents could have been prevented by taking simple steps to secure homes and vehicles,” said Cpl. Kiener. “Residents play an important role in helping reduce crime in our communities.”

Police encourage residents to:

• Lock all doors and windows, even when at home
• Lock vehicles, regardless of where they are parked
• Secure garage doors and garage door openers
• Remove valuables from plain view
• Ensure exterior lighting is functioning properly

She encourages residents who plan to be away for extended periods of time to consider arranging for mail pickup, using timers on lights, and asking trusted neighbours to monitor their property.

As always, police urge residents to report suspicious activity immediately at 604-792-4611. This includes unfamiliar vehicles slowly driving through neighbourhoods, individuals checking door handles, or unusual late-night activity around homes.
