Summer Block Watch Security Tips

July 7th, 2010 by bferg

You are the extra eyes and ears out in the neighbourhoods. You see what is going on in your own backyards. We need to hear from you if you see incidents occurring that could escalate into something bigger and “out of control”. The non-emergency line should be used for such incidents. Please call 604-985-1311. This will allow the police to be aware of what is occurring in your area and patrol when available. If you witness a crime occurring or an emergency situation, call 911 immediately.

Summer safety reminders:

  • Break and Enters are higher in the summer months because people leave their doors and windows open. Please remember you still need to keep your front and side doors and windows locked when you are outdoors in your back yard and no one is in the house. People tend to leave second story windows open but this is still an invitation to intruders. Put ladders away to prevent easy access to these windows.
  • Lock garden sheds where you store all the tools an intruder needs to break into your home.

around the complex yesterday, November 11. He matched the description
of the man convicted of breaking into a unit in the 400s last year:
approximately 5’9″, light brownish/red short cut hair, blue jeans,
black backpack. The original break-in was done through a window using
an unsecured ladder. Residents are reminded to keep an eye out for
suspicious activity and to lock up ladders or other tools that could
be used by burglars.
