High River RCMP are sharing tips to prevent car theft and vehicle break-ins.
Police say taking these precautions can significantly reduce the risk of theft:
- Lock up every time. Many break-ins happen to unlocked vehicles. Always double-check that your doors and windows are secured.
- Do not leave your keys or key fob in the vehicle.
- Remove all valuables from your vehicle or, if you need to leave items in your vehicle, keep them out of sight.
- Remove garage openers from vehicles. They can allow criminals to gain access to your residence.
- Don’t leave your vehicle running unattended. Vehicles running with the keys left inside are prime targets for theft.
- Report suspicious activity to your local police
In High River, suspicious activity can be reported to the High River RCMP detachment at 403-652-2356.
