(As noted by a previous post, there have been an increase in thefts from vehicles both locked and unlocked in the Ward 6 area. In one day 10 vehicles were broken into. Make sure you keep your valuables inside your home, instead of in your car. I was also a victim of this crime recently. The more we do to prevent this, the more they move on. Hopefully Halton Police will find these criminals!)
Ten thefts from vehicles in day
Ten vehicles on local streets were broken into Tuesday.
The streets included Irving Terrace, Deacon Drive, Zimmerman Crescent, Clarke Boulevard, Hearst Boulevard, Gordon Heights, Ferguson Drive and McDermott Way.
Police are investigating.
