(COLLINGWOOD, ONTARIO) Auxiliary officers from the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) went out to local parking lots in Collingwood last night checking vehicle doors ensuring vehicles are locked.
In total, 100 vehicles were checked out of which 3 were found unlocked with valuables in plain view. Residents are reminded to remove valuables from their vehicles when parked for an extended period of time or move them out of sight and of course, lock their vehicle doors.
This is a great initiative from our Collingwood/The Blue Mountains OPP Auxiliaries which they conduct on a regular basis and once a car is checked, they will leave a small leaflet on the car with information on crime prevention. A great reminder to continue to lock it or lose it.
