Spike in property crime seen in Chilliwack
A spike in property crimes on Chilliwack's north side has RCMP hitting the streets both in uniforms and plains clothes officers.
"We recognized that this is an issue right now in our community and it is a big priority for us," Sgt. Steve McLeod said.
There were 82 thefts from vehicles reported on the north side of Chilliwack between Sept. 1 and Sept. 30, police said.
The primary target of these crimes appear to be thefts from motor vehicles.
Auxiliary police officers and volunteers from the Citizens On Patrol group will also be gathering intelligence in an attempt to identify the individuals responsible for the crimes, police said.
