Jack Frost is making sure that temperatures stay chilly this winter<br />
season and this is tempting many motorists to leave vehicles run in<br />
attempts to warm them prior to travel.<br />
Vehicles left running, unlocked and unattended create unnecessary risk<br />
and pose the potential for criminal activity. over the course of this winter<br />
investigators have responded to numerous complaints of stolen vehicles<br />
that fall under the category of ‘warm-up’ thefts.<br />
Crime prevention is a priority for the RCMP, but it’s also a collective<br />
community effort. Dress for the weather and do not leave idling vehicles<br />
unattended. ‘Warm-up’ thefts are 100% preventable!<br />
