OPP investigates multiple vehicle break-ins in Brant County

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding residents to lock their doors after multiple vehicles were entered in Brant County.

Police say they received several reports over the last week from owners who reported wallets, purses, personal identification, cigarettes, and other valuables stolen from their vehicles.

The thefts happened in the areas of Gilston Pkwy., Charles St., Dundas St. West and Freeman St. in Paris.

OPP says a vehicle was also broken into on Saint William St. in Burford.

Police have offered the following tips to help keep your vehicle and belongings safe.

• Always secure your vehicle windows and doors when parking your vehicle, even if you are only going to be a few minutes.
• Never leave valuable objects, wallets, purses or packages in full view. Remove them or lock them in the trunk.
• Clean out your garage and park your vehicle in it – locking your vehicle and the garage door.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a security system, remember to activate it.

Brant OPP continues to investigate and is asking anyone who may have video surveillance or who may have noticed any suspicious persons or vehicles in the areas where the thefts took place to contact investigators at 1-888-310-1122.
