It’s a problem that’s been steadily on the rise in Fort Saskatchewan, and now RCMP are getting creative when it comes to car theft.
RCMP are warning thieves that the next car they choose to break into or steal might be a ‘bait vehicle.’
The exact location and type of car will not be made public, but the vehicle will be monitored by the RCMP.
Thieves attempting to steal the vehicle or its contents will be arrested and charged accordingly.
It’s hoped the initiative will help put a dent in property crime in Fort Saskatchewan.
“This initiative demonstrates a committed partnership with the Fort Saskatchewan community in combatting this type of property crime, which ultimately has far-reaching effects,” RCMP said.
The initiative is a partnership between the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP and the General Investigation Section in conjunction with the “K” Division Auto Theft Unit.
