Crime prevention is a shared responsibility. Members of the community are reminded of their role in preventing criminal activity:
• Lock up houses, sheds, vehicles and any other property that is easily accessible
• Never leave running vehicles unlocked. Nearly half of the vehicle thefts in Alberta over the past year have had the keys left inside
• Take photos and record serial numbers of property
• If you see or suspect suspicious activity notify police immediately
