RCMP suggest New Year’s resolution of locking car doors
KAMLOOPS — It’s a warning the RCMP have issued time and time again: lock your vehicle doors. Now, they’re asking the public to make it a New Year’s resolution to get into the habit.
Cpl. Jodi Shelkie of the Kamloops RCMP said cases of vehicle thefts have been steadily increasing across the province over the last few years, and an unlocked door provides thieves with easy access to any valuables inside.
Shelkie adds the RCMP have found that people are choosing to leave their doors open to prevent a broken window. She says that’s not a good idea.
