3. 2021- Thefts From Autos
Squamish RCMP investigated a series of thefts from autos this past week, happening from various areas. Thieves typically broke into cars by breaking windows or by accessing through unlocked doors. The most common times for these thefts were overnight. Thieves stole items such as clothing, a catalytic converter, a bike rack, a paddle board, cash, wallets, keys, and other sports equipment. Police remind drivers to secure their cars and remove property to prevent thefts. Police also encourage victims to report all thefts, even if they appear small by nature.

With the end of the school year approaching Squamish RCMP wish to remind drivers about student pedestrian and bicycle safety.
