Lock your vehicle doors.
That’s the message a Kelowna resident is sending after security camera video captured a young male checking to see if two vehicles were unlocked.
Video footage shows the young man, seen wearing a backpack, walking between two SUVs. He tries opening the passenger door of one vehicle, then switches to the driver’s door on a white Kia.
Unsuccessful, he then checks the rear driver’s side door on the Kia, then the rear passenger door on the other SUV.

In an email to Global News, the resident said “I would like to make the public aware of a young male in Rutland checking vehicles. If they are unlocked he will steal valuables.”
The resident added “on the morning of Sunday April 7th, I went out to my car to find papers had been strewn across the seat and my expensive dark glasses were stolen.”
