Attempted theft of autos

In both cases, the vehicles were still driveable when the owners found them; however the damage was extensive. They both occurred during the overnight period.

There were also similar incidents reported in the Lynnwood and Thorncliffe communities.

Be aware of what is going on in your neighbourhood, and please report any suspicious activity to the police non-emergency line at 780-423-4567. If you see a crime in progress, call 911.
