Good
Evening,
I'm asking everyone to keep ALL vehicles and property
secured at all times and don't leave valuables in your vehicles whether locked
or not. Lock your house and keep your garage doors closed and locked at all
times as we have had several thefts recently. I've seen non-residents passing through Deep Harbour looking around the last two mornings and again this evening. I've called police
twice this evening.
There was a theft on Aurora St at the condo bldg just
outside our fire gates. Our dogs alerted us but, the cops couldn't get there quickly enough.
Please
watch for young 4 black males, approx age 16-20, on bicycles cruising through
Deep Harbour and adjoining neighborhoods. The morning trips have been just one
"scout" looking things over. This evening's trip was four males on four bikes.
They're looking for opportunities to steal anything left unsecured. To my
knowledge they haven't broken into any homes or vehicles yet but they have
entered unlocked cars and garages that were left open. The same four people have
been seen on bikes just before other incidents. The police feel pretty certain
they're the perpetrators but they have to catch them in the act or with the
goods.
If
you see anyone acting suspiciously or anything that doesn't look quite right,
please call
Sgt Hurley asks that we
keep phones on us as much as possible and call right away if we see anything
suspicious. They're trying hard to catch these kids but, four of them working
together and riding bikes are proving difficult to catch. The bikes make thieves
quick, quiet and stealthy. They cruise around scouting things to steal then
three act as lookouts while the fourth one takes the prize. They can shut it
down and be gone the second anyone approaches, be it a resident on foot or a
police officer in a car, and they can go places on bikes that cop cars
can't.
The
easiest way to rid ourselves of this problem is to NOT give them the
opportunity. You'll be hearing this a lot until everyone gets in the habit of
securing everything and the thieves look for opportunity elsewhere.
Please share this message with as many
residents as possible. Owners who rent their units, please be sure your tenants
get this information ASAP. We are asking Sentry to send an e-mail blast to all owners and
residents.
If
we all work together we can solve this problem pretty quickly.
Thank
You.
