Over the last three months, since July 1, 2018, there have been 22 residential break-and-enters to unsecured premises, reported to the EPS Downtown Division. Of the 22 residential break-and-enters, the McCauley, Queen Mary and Central McDougall communities have felt the most impact.
"With the long weekend approaching, residents are encouraged to take the extra steps to ensure their doors and windows are locked and all valuables are out of sight," says Staff Sgt. Brent Dahlseide, of the EPS Downtown Division.
"We’re noticing suspects are targeting residences and suites specifically with access points on the first and second levels," says Dahlseide. "Electronics, jewelry and cash appear to be what suspects are looking for."
The majority of the 22 break-and-enters occurred on a Friday or Saturday between the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m..
