Advisory: Thefts from vehicles.

Halifax Regional Police are warning citizens after reported thefts from vehicles in Halifax.

Thefts from vehicles are usually crimes of opportunity. Visible items tempt would-be thieves.

If it is absolutely necessary to leave items in a vehicle, they should be locked in the trunk out of plain sight before arriving at your destination.

keep your vehicle free from clutter; even an empty shopping bag can create the appearance that there’s something in your car worth stealing.
