Lock your vehicles
There were six reports of unlocked vehicles being rummaged through and having articles stolen. Early in the morning on Nov. 17, a resident on MacNeil Place observed two youth in his carport and one was exiting his vehicle. He detained one youth at the scene while calling police. The youth was arrested and held in custody. The identity of the second youth was established and he was arrested later in the morning. The investigators are attempting to determine if there is a link between these two youth suspects and the other thefts from vehicles that have occurred over the last month. The investigation is continuing and the public are being reminded again to lock unattended vehicles.
