City police are reporting a residential break and enter in the Ski Club Road area yesterday morning that netted thieves several thousand dollars’ worth of jewellery including bracelets, watches, and rings.
There are no suspects at this time and the investigation is continuing.
Here's a few basic steps you can take to protect your property.
- Lock all doors that lead to your residence as well as your vehicle doors
- If going away on vacation or an extended absence, do not announce your travel plans or absence from home on social media or your phone’s voicemail. Ask a trusted neighbor to watch your house and make your home look lived in
- Consider the installation of a quality security system with motion sensors and/or video monitoring
- Secure all basement and ground-level windows and patio doors
Break and enters are often a crime of opportunity. The more difficult you make it for thieves to break into your home, the more likely it is that they will move along.
Be aware of suspicious people or vehicles in your neighbourhood and call police immediately if you’re concerned.
