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.
