Campbell River RCMP reminding residents to lock up over busy holiday season

Many travel to visit family and friends over the holiday season.

In their latest weekly round-up, Campbell River RCMP says it is important to let a neighbour or friend know if you are going to be away from home for any length of time.

Residents who have a security alarm are reminded to make sure it is on before leaving. If you have a surveillance system, make sure it is on and working.

It is also important to properly secure windows, doors and outdoor valuables.

“The holiday season can bring out the best in people, but sadly it can also bring out desperation in others and desperate thieves will typically take the path of least resistance,” Campbell River RCMP added.

288 calls for service were responded to by Campbell River RCMP between Dec. 10th and Dec. 17th, a 12.5% increase compared to the same period in 2018.
