Tips for Preventing Rural Crime

June 25, 2021 by in Advisories

The Wakaw RCMP has provided the following tips to help prevent crime on rural properties;

-Having lights in yards

-Security cameras, trail cameras, driveway alarms, etc.

-Locking vehicles, placing hitch locks on trailers, and locks on fuel tanks. Almost all stolen vehicles are left unlocked with the keys in them.

-Keep photographs and serial numbers of any items of value on your property. Having a serial number or identifiable feature allows the RCMP to enter that item as stolen on CPIC, allowing it to be associated and returned to you if it is recovered.
