Keep doors locked to prevent daytime B&E’s
April 16, 2014 · 0 Comments
Grey County OPP wish to remind residents to keep their doors locked to prevent potential day time break-ins.
This reminder comes after a residence in Owen Sound was broken into yesterday morning in which silverware and jewelry were taken. The suspects, a man and a woman, between the ages of 40 and 50 were observed leaving the residence.
In 2013, between January and August, Grey County OPP investigated 6 similar day-time break-ins, most of which were in the area of Balmy Beach in the Township of Georgian Bluffs. Thousands of dollars in jewelry was stolen. In one case, the homeowner was in the front yard cutting grass, when the suspect(s) entered the residence through an insecure rear door.
Crime prevention starts with you! Ensure all doors are locked; including your vehicle doors. Theft from vehicles is a crime of opportunity. Don’t make it easy for would be thieves! Report any suspicious vehicles and or people to police. Beware of potential suspects who may knock on your door to see whether or not anyone is home and then, if answered, may ask for directions or hand you a flyer of some description as a ruse. Should this occur and you feel it’s suspicious in nature, contact your local police.
