Battlefords RCMP say a man has been arrested in connection to break-ins at several homes and garages in North Battleford on the night of Monday, Nov. 21.
Several items were stolen, police say. Charges are pending and the investigation continues.
Police report there has also been a recent rash of theft from vehicles and vehicles being stolen, many with the keys left in them.
With the cold weather upon us now, and people leaving their vehicles running to warm up, police advise vehicle owners need to be extra cautious as this is an easy opportunity for someone to smash a window and steal a vehicle.
The Battlefords RCMP also remind everyone to make sure they lock vehicles, homes and garages as some of the properties entered had their doors left unlocked. Homeowners are reminded to secure their property and that it is a good habit to lock all doors at night.
The Battlefords RCMP say members are committed to providing a safe community for all to live in and need co-operation from the public to reduce crime by locking doors and protecting valuables.
The RCMP encourage everyone that has information on any of these crimes or anyone that seems suspicious to call the Battlefords RCMP immediately so members can investigate.
To report crimes please contact Battlefords RCMP at 306-446-1720 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or on-line at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
