CARNDUFF — Carnduff RCMP has received several recent reports of break-ins to properties and vehicles. These incidents are under active investigation.
Carnduff RCMP remind residents of the following tips to deter break-ins:
- Lock and secure your home, business, outbuildings and slip tanks.
- Keep your property well-lit. Consider using motion-sensor exterior lighting and indoor lighting timers.
- Consider installing a monitored security or alarm system.
- Park vehicles in a garage or outbuilding. If a building is not available, park in an area that receives high levels of traffic.
- Don’t leave valuables in vehicles – even spare change can make it a possible target. It’s not enough to put your vehicle keys, or anything valuable, in a cup holder or behind a visor, you must remove them from your vehicle and lock the doors.
- Always remember to remove your garage door opener from your vehicle – if it is stolen, it can mean someone has access to everything inside your garage and even your home if it’s connected to your garage.
- Report crimes, even if they are small, to police as soon as possible. When all crimes are reported to the police, officers get a clearer picture of the types and numbers of crimes occurring in their area. This information helps them launch future police projects, initiatives and education campaigns.
Report any crime, observed suspicious activity/vehicles, or information to Carnduff RCMP at 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
