Crime Prevention Tip  Public Advisory- Increase In Thefts From Vehicles Recently, the Winnipeg Police Service has received several reports regarding thefts from vehicles parked in personal driveways.    One of the common things stolen is a door remote which the suspects then use to enter the garage and steal further items.   Please consider the following break-in prevention tips: 1. Keep your car visible Avoid having your vehicle concealed by larger vehicles, fences or foliage; thieves like to work in private. 2. Don't make it easy Keep windows and sunroofs closed and doors locked. Many thefts from vehicles are as a result of unlocked vehicles. 3. Vehicle alarm? Don't forget to activate it. 4. Hide your valuables Many smash-and-grab thieves act on impulse. So keep your stuff out of sight – either with you or in a locked trunk. Don't count on the glove box; thieves know to look there, and they're easy to break into.   E-Watch - Your direct connection to information about crime and crime prevention in your community.
