Free Vehicle Clubs!

If you have an older vehicle that does not have an anti-theft device, this is for you.
For the month of December, Community Policing and ICBC will be offering steering wheel locks to those vehicle owners that present their insurance papers showing that they drive an older model vehicle without an anti-theft system.  
“We ask that residents bring their vehicle insurance papers to the Community Policing counter at the Detachment as proof they own a vehicle that requires additional security or that meets our targeted vehicle group,” advises Linda Parker, Community Policing Coordinator. “We will then provide a free steering wheel lock which will help mitigate theft of the vehicle.”
According to ICBC, the top 10 vehicles stolen in 2016 are:

1.    Ford F Series pickup trucks              
2.    Honda Civic & CRX
3.    Dodge pickup trucks
4.    GMC/Chevrolet pickup trucks
5.    Ford E Series Vans
6.    Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee
7.    Acura Integra
8.    Toyota Corolla
9.    Honda CRV
10.  Dodge Caravan

The local Community Policing office is located in the RCMP Detachment on Victoria Street.
