With summer here, many in the Parkland are planning their summer holidays.
There are some things to consider at home and in your vehicle when planning to go away.
Rob Tuff, Dauphin RCMP Constable, tells us how to prevent theft from occurring on properties or vehicles.
“The best advice I can give is never leave anything laying around. If you can, lock up your valuables wherever possible via at your campsite, home yard, or even your vehicle. If your leaving your vehicle, always lock the doors, keep the windows closed and if you have a car or a van, something like that, lock your valuables in the trunk or uncover in the back; out of sight, out of mind kind of thing.”
Keeping valuables locked up and out of sight is the best preventative method to theft.
Also having the Dauphin Ag Society Fair and Countryfest in town this weekend has increased traffic volume.
There’s an increase flow of traffic in Dauphin and on the way out to Countryfest.
Tuff reminds drivers to be cautious.
“The first message that comes to mind is one that has been around for a number of years and that is always drive with care and caution; be consonant of other drivers on the road.”
Reducing speeds and being cautious of other drivers can help prevent collisions.
