Steinbach RCMP report that there has been a recent increase in vehicle thefts in Steinbach and the surrounding area.

Police say that in every single incident, the keys for the vehicle were left in the vehicle and doors were left unlocked. Because the culprits are checking vehicles at night, the public is reminded to lock all vehicle doors when unattended and to not, in any circumstances, leave keys in the vehicle.

RCMP advise that this is a very preventable crime. Should you notice any suspicious activity in your neighbourhood, please contact your local RCMP detachment immediately.
