The Upper Ottawa Valley detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police is reminding residents to secure their homes and vehicles as warmer weather brings more opportunities for thefts of opportunity.
Police say unlocked doors, open windows and valuables left in plain sight can attract thieves. Motorists are urged to roll up vehicle windows, lock their doors, take their keys and park in well-lit areas whenever possible.
The OPP also encourages residents to keep homes, garages, sheds and other outbuildings locked to help reduce the risk of property crime.
