Recently, officers have responded to several calls for service relating to personal property being stolen during the night time hours from unlocked vehicles and residences in the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene.

As investigations continue, officers stress that you need to remove valuables such as wallets, purses and other valuable items and lock your vehicle to help prevent these crimes of opportunity from occurring in our community.

It is seems be a regular occurrence for officers to receive a report of a vehicle entry or a series of entries only to learn the vehicles were left unlocked or locked with valuables left out in plan sight causing an forced entry and theft. These types of thefts can lead to the loss of credit cards and other pieces of personal identification which can be used in fraud related occurrences.
