DON'T LEAVE VEHICLE UNATTENDED: OPP

Officers from the Caledon OPP responded to the report of a stolen vehicle that occurred on Bramalea Road in the Town of Caledon.

“On October 26, 2021 at approximately 5:30 a.m., a resident started their vehicle to warm it up, leaving it in the driveway unattended,” say Police. “When the resident went to leave for work a short time later they found their vehicle was gone.

“With cooler weather coming, many Caledon residents will be tempted to start their cars in the morning to warm them up. Caledon OPP is urging residents not to leave their vehicles running and unattended. If you feel the need to warm your vehicle up, consider installing a keyless remote starter for your vehicle to help deter its theft.

“Caledon OPP reminds local residents that theft is a crime of opportunity. Thieves often look for unattended or unsecured property to steal. Always secure your vehicle by removing car keys, locking all doors and windows, removing all valuables from plain view, and never leaving your car running and unattended.”

If you have any information in relation to this incident, contact Caledon OPP detachment at (905) 584-2241 or toll-free at 1-888-310-1122.
