(THE BLUE MOUNTAINS, ONTARIO) Auxiliary officers from the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) conducted vehicle checks at Blue Mountain Resort parking lots last night as part of their ongoing Lock It or Lose It initiative, checking parked vehicles to verify if the doors were locked and valuables put out of sight.
In total, 153 vehicles were checked where 4 were found unlocked and three of those had valuables in plain sight. 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.
