Vehicle B&E Reports

[murraysovereign]

As mentioned in an earler post, I sit on a couple of the District of Squamish "Citizen's Advisory Committees" and am using those venues to push for some sort of parking lot surveillance / patrol program for next summer. We have asked the RCMP to produce a report detailing where, when, how these break-ins are happening, as well as their advice on the legal boundaries within which volunteers can operate, and how best to coordinate our efforts with theirs.

 

(By the way, I now know of at least one sting operation over the summer involving a couple of "bait" cars loaded with gear, auxilliary police hiding in the bushes with cameras/radios, and squad cars positioned on the highway both north and south of the stakeout. While they were watching the one parking lot, two or three breakins occurred at a different parking lot about a mile away . This is NOT going to be easy.)

 

But the RCMP can only report to us about those cases that were reported to them. I don't doubt that there have been a number of B&Es that, for various reasons, the police never heard about. If any of you are have been victim of a vehicle theft that was not reported, I'd appreciate it if you would PM me with as many details as you can recall - where, when, how, type of vehicle, what was taken, etc. I'll add that information to the file the RCMP give us. The more data we have to work with the better.

 

Thanks.
