He said vehicles with doors unlocked or valuables inside are easy targets. They want to stop those easy crimes, but to do some requires help from residents.

“East Hants RCMP urges the public to remove any items of value from plain sight in vehicles at night,” said Const. Burns.

“Ensure your vehicle doors are locked and the keys are removed from their vehicles when not being operated.”
