“The Comox Valley RCMP have seen an increase in smash-and-grab thefts in the last few weeks and would like to remind residents to prevent the theft before it happens. Theft prevention starts before you even park your vehicle. Ensure all your valuables are out of sight because when an opportunistic thief sees something they want, they will quickly break in and take it leaving you with a big mess to clean up.”
