Vehicle Break-In Prevention Tips
Once again, the Sault Ste Marie Police Service would like to remind the public to lock their doors, park in busy, well lit areas and do not leave valuables in plain sight in the vehicle. If you leave items in your vehicle and they're visible, the chances your vehicle will get broken into increase greatly.

Very few auto break-ins are "random". The thieves usually see something out in the open. Valuable items that thieves target are wallets, GPS units, MP3 players, laptops, money, purses, packages and so forth. If you can't take the items with you, secure them in a safe place in your vehicle, like a locked glove compartment or your trunk.

Police ask the public if they see anyone suspicious or that appear to be checking vehicles, please contact them immediately.
