Thefts from vehicles
There have been a series of thefts in the past two weeks from unlocked motor vehicles, and one theft of a vehicle where the keys were left in the vehicle.
Residents of our communities are reminded to do their due diligence in locking their doors and not becoming too complacent. Remember to keep an eye out for your own property, and have a neighbourly watch on your area.
If you have information on any police files or crimes, please contact the Ashcroft RCMP at (250) 453-2216, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
