O.P.P remind public to lock vehicles

Ontario Provincial Police | Aug 23, 2017

Since 1 July 2017, officers of the Frontenac Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P) have responded to eight calls this summer involving thefts from unlocked motor vehicles, three motorcycle thefts, three All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) thefts and two incidents of thefts of a motor vehicle.
The O.P.P. would like to remind the public by simply securing your vehicle and placing valuables out of sight you are making it far more difficult for criminals to steal that vehicle or its contents, whether at home, visiting friends and relatives, or out in public areas.

Vehicle owners can do simple things to decrease the risk of thefts such as:
- Never leave a running vehicle unattended.
- Lock your vehicle and pocket the keys.
- At night park in well-lit areas.
- Never leave valuables in plain view.
- Report any suspicious persons or activity immediately to the police.
