Cheque fraud
Squamish RCMP believe a theft from a mailbox in the 39000 block of Government Road is part of an ongoing series of such break-ins. In late September, cheques stolen from the mailbox were later used at a local business. An RCMP press release said residents can contact Cpl. Angie Kermer at the Squamish RCMP for resources, as local residents organize neighbourhood efforts to report suspicious activity.
Bikes stolen
Four bikes were reported stolen last week, two from the 38000 block of Westway Avenue. The other bikes were taken from the 40000 block of Willow Crescent: a blue and white Rocky Mountain Vertex and a grey and orange Kona Kahuna. Their combined value totals $3,100.
Theft out of vehicles
Residents from different areas of Squamish have reported thefts out of their vehicles to the RCMP. Items reported stolen includes a licence plate, tablet and valtag (insurance validation). All vehicles were parked in public spaces.
Anyone with information about these crimes can contact the local detachment at 604-892-6100 or report anonymously to Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
