Police dealing with ‘concerning’ number of vehicle thefts
Drayton Valley RCMP have reissued their call for people to lock vehicle doors after vehicle thefts as well as theft-from-vehicle complaints continue to occur.
Mounties say over the past week six vehicles have been stolen, with a further nine broken into. That is on top of five stolen and six broken into last week in a recent spike of vehicle-related crime.
Police added many of the break-ins involved the theft of work tools, wallets and credit cards.
Sergeant Erin Matthews called the recent thefts troubling, and is reminding people to lock their vehicle doors and remove anything valuable within them.
