Police have charged several people in connection with six of the break-ins and are investigating whether any of the other burglaries are connected.
Police are reminding Calgarians they can protect themselves, and their property, with some simple precautions:
Ensure all vehicles are locked, with the windows up.
Hide or remove all valuables, keys, garage door openers and other property from unattended vehicles.
Ensure all home and garage doors, patio doors and windows are secured even when you are home, day or night, including the door from an attached garage to the house.
Don’t drive away from your home until you’ve seen the garage door close completely.
Check all vehicles, doors and windows before turning in for the night.
Consider installing home and vehicle alarm systems and vehicle anti-theft devices.
Let your neighbours know if they’ve left doors open or vehicles unlocked.
