At least three trucks parked near the Executive Suites Hotel on Tantalus Road were damaged after having been broken into last week.
The incidents occurred overnight on Saturday-Sunday (Nov. 9-10), RCMP Staff Sgt. Brian Cumming wrote on a statement.
Two trucks that were broken into sustained damage to their ignition systems. Electronic devices were stolen from one, while "various wedding gifts" were stolen from the other, Cumming said.
A third truck that was parked in front of a unit in the 41000 block of Tantalus Road, near the Executive Suites, was stolen. As well, on the same night a storage locker in the underground portion of the hotel was broken into. Three Motorola radios were stolen in that incident, Cumming said.
Warnings issued
On Saturday (Nov. 9), police responded to a report of gunfire above the Furry Creek residential area in contravention to SLRD bylaws. Police attended and found several people with rifles that had valid licences but were not aware of the SLRD prohibition on discharging firearms in that area. Warnings were issued.
Bike stolen
On Monday (Nov. 4), police received a report of the theft of a mountain bike the previous evening. A lock that had secured the bike to a vehicle bike rack at a yoga studio in the 40000 block of Tantalus Road had been cut. The bike was a Specialized Stumpjumper.
Battery swiped
On Wednesday (Nov. 6), a five-ton delivery truck that was parked in the 38000 block of Midway in the Squamish Business Park had its battery stolen overnight. The battery's approximate value was $500.
Items taken
A leaf blower and weed eater were reported stolen from a business at 38918 Progress Way on Wednesday (Nov. 6). The suspect is believed to have used a bicycle during the commission of the theft.
Vehicles broken into
On Wednesday (Nov. 6) a vehicle parked in the Shannon Falls parking lot had its rear window smashed. Three purses containing identification and credit cards were reported stolen. One of the credit cards was later used in Squamish. The matter is under investigation.
On Thursday (Nov. 7), a rented vehicle parked in the Rubble Creek lot was broken into. Stolen were several phones and other electronic devices, along with a purse and a passport.
Collisions recorded
During the past week there were several single vehicle collisions on Highway 99 between Squamish and West Vancouver. None resulted in serious injuries; however, police warned drivers to exercise caution as winter driving conditions have arrived.
