Property Crimes

Sometime overnight on Wednesday and the early morning hours on Thursday, a number of vehicles were entered and several damaged in the underground parking and garage areas of 313 Macdonald Avenue, 621 Macdonald Avenue, 18 Ferguson Avenue and the Breton Road area. Several windows were reported smashed and some of the items reported stolen included: change, a camera, backpacks, a passport and other vehicle documents.

Citizens should remember to always remove anything of value from their parked vehicles. If anything of value must be stored in the vehicle, then it should be hidden from plain view or secured in the trunk. Vigilance by locking vehicles and removing items of temptation will greatly reduce incidents of theft.
