Mounties handed video of High River car prowlers

Mounties in High River are looking for the culprits involved in a rash of car prowlings last month.

On June 24, officers received complaints of cars being broken into overnight.

In the multiple complaints, vehicles were left unlocked while suspects combed through them. One instance saw a garage door opener used to gain access to a garage, where the offenders were able to get into another vehicle.

“A vehicle with an unlocked door or open window is an easy target, but thefts from vehicles are easily prevented,” High River RCMP Const. Jill Mills said.

“Always roll up your windows, lock your doors and pocket your keys when you park and leave your vehicle. Park in a well lit area and never leave valuables in plain site.”

The prowlings all happened in the Montrose area and one resident was able to provide RCMP with video showing the culprits.

Anyone with information is asked to contact High River RCMP at 403-652-2357.
