A Message from your Local RCMP

Re: Protecting our Personal Property

June 2010 

As the weather slowly improves (between the showers), your local R.C.M.P. has noted an increase in the number of incidents where vehicles in the R.M. of East St. Paul have been targeted by thieves and personal items have been taken. A majority of these incidents occur during the evening hours. To date, items that have been stolen from parked vehicles include: wallets, purses, money, laptop computers, electronics ie: Ipods, cell phones, sporting equipment, and tools to name but a few.

Surprisingly in many cases, valuables have been left unattended in plain view in unlocked vehicles. It only takes seconds for a criminal to walk up to a vehicle, open an unlocked door, take an item, and then slink into the shadows. Thieves travel through our community looking for easy opportunities to gain from our own complacency to secure our valuables. No police department can function effectively without the assistance of a responsible community and because of that we need your help and cooperation.

To assist in decreasing the number of incidents of this nature in our community, the following tips may help in preventing us from being the next victim:

  1. Remove your keys from the ignition even if you will only be away from your vehicle for a few seconds.
  2. Where possible, park your vehicle in a well-lit area.
  3. Do not leave any items of value unattended in plain sight in your vehicle.
  4. Keep all parcels or packages locked in your trunk.
  5. Make sure your windows are up and doors are locked.
  6. Never hide a spare key on or in a vehicle. Criminals know where to find them.
  7. Do not leave your garage door opener in your vehicle. This can be used by thieves to gain access to your garage/residence.
  8. If your vehicle is broken into or stolen, report it to the police right away.

In cooperation with our Citizens on Patrol, your local R.C.M.P. Detachment members will be undertaking some innovative initiatives this summer to attempt to catch those responsible for these thefts. Hopefully with everyone on the same page, we'll decrease the number of thefts in our community and catch those responsible.

Have a safe and enjoyable summer and as always, I welcome your feedback, questions, and/or concerns.

Sgt. Mike Van Kats
Detachment Commander
