“It only takes a moment to break into a vehicle. Thieves are attracted to these areas because of opportunity,” said Richmond RCMP Cpl. Dennis Hwang.
“We are asking people to help by removing that opportunity. If there is nothing to see, there is nothing to steal.”
Police said the most aggressively targeted areas include Aberdeen Mall, President’s Plaza and a variety of locations along Alexandra Road.
