The Sarnia Police Service is reminding residents to lock their vehicles, as well as doors and windows to their homes.
The service records show that half of all theft calls that officers respond to involve thefts from vehicles. In most cases these thefts could be avoided by locking the vehicle and keeping valuables out of sight or not kept in the vehicle. Items that are being taken include lap-top computers, wallets, phones, passports and large amounts of change left in plain view.
Police advise residents to keep doors and windows to their homes locked and to keep garage doors closed when not in use.
These are crimes of opportunity and the police along with public need to work together to reduce these incidents.
Please report suspicious activity in your neighbourhood.
