After a series of break and enter cases throughout the community, the Hay River RCMP are urging local residents to take extra precautions.
Business and homeowners are encouraged to double check all property entrances, outbuildings, and vehicles to make sure they are secure and well lit. The RCMP recommend residents look into acquiring security cameras.
If anyone believes that their home has been broken into while they were away, they should contact the RCMP immediately and refrain from entering the property, as the suspect could still be inside. Even if the suspect has fled the area, there could still be evidence left behind that could become inadvertently contaminated by the homeowner.
Anyone who has information on any break and enter cases that have occurred recently should contact the Hay River RCMP at 874-1111.
