Public Advisory- Vehicle Break-ins
Recently, the Winnipeg Police Service has received reports city-wide regarding thefts from vehicles parked in personal driveways.
One of the common items stolen is garage door remotes which the suspect(s) then use to enter the garage/residence 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.
A friendly reminder: NEVER leave your garage door remote inside your vehicle.
