91原创 RCMP are warning home owners to lock their doors and set alarms after a number of night time break-ins while residents are sleeping.
A cat burglar has struck a number of times this week in the north 91原创 area, said Cpl. Holly Marks.
Police suggest to use an alarm while at home and when leaving. In some cases, robbers will abandon their efforts when the audible alarm is sounded.
Never leave house keys hidden outside.
Older garage door openers are easy to hack so look into modernizing ones 15 to 20 years old.
Additionally, some people are devastated after a break-in and would benefit from support. Client Support Services (formerly Victim Services) is available and will assist with any necessary referrals/ support including the scheduling of a free home security inspection by Block Watch volunteers.
Home Security Inspection volunteers are trained and security-cleared individuals who will conduct an inspection of your home and provide you with information and suggest changes for increased safety. To arrange an inspection, call 91原创 RCMP at 604-532-3200.
