IF YOU SEE
SUSPICIOUS
ACTIVITY, PLEASE
REPORT IT!
(HURON COUNTY, ON) — Huron
County Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) would like to remind res-
idents to contact police should
suspicious activity be taking
place in your neighbourhood.
Working together, citizens and
police can greatly enhance the
overall safety of any commu-
nity. The reality is, police offic-
ers are not on every street cor-
ner thus we are encouraging all
citizens to act as an extra set
of "Eyes & Ears".
Over the last 30 days Huron
County OPP has investigated
16 break, enter & theft occur-
rences and 11 stolen vehi-
cle occurrences. Some arrests
have been made however
some of these cases remain
unsolved.
If you have information to help
us solve some of these crimes
we would like to hear from you.
"Caring and concerned citizens
that want to make a difference
in their community have a tre-
mendous role to play in keeping
our streets and communities
safe. Crime prevention needs
to be a collaborative effort in
order to be truly effective. We
encourage citizens to be that
extra set of eyes & ears and to
take that step to call us when
you have information," said
Huron OPP Detachment Com-
mander Inspector Jason You-
nan.
Collectively, if we take pro-
active steps we can reduce
crime and enhance the over-
all safety of our communities
throughout Huron County.
One of the simplest, yet most
effective things we can all do
is getting to know our neigh-
bours and watching out over
our neighbour's property. If
you see something happening
that seems suspicious or out of
place please call us so we can
check it out.
Here are just a few situations in
which you should call police:
• A vehicle that seems to be
"casing" the neighbourhood
Furniture or electronics being
removed from homes when the
owners are at work or on vaca-
tion
• A vehicle that appears to be
abandoned that is unknown to
you or your neighbours
• A stranger looking into homes
or parked cars
• Unusual activities of pets
such as a dog barking that is
normally quiet
• A salesperson or canvasser
going door to door that doesn't
have proper identification
• Unusual noises late at night,
i.e. the sound of breaking glass.
For emergent situations and
crimes in progress, please call
