Spate of North Vancouver vehicle thefts abnormal says RCMP

North Vancouver RCMP is calling a spike of vehicle break-ins on the night of Boxing Day abnormal.

Corporal  Douglas Trousdell says more than 30 vehicles were targeted overnight, with the number expected to rise as reports continue to trickle in.

He says Mounties don’t have a suspect yet.

“I don’t have any specific information about what items were taken at this time.  But being just after Christmas and Boxing Day, we know there were lots of people who had presents and parcels in their vehicles, and of course we encourage people not to keep any valuables in their vehicles overnight.”

Trousdell says the thefts, mainly in the Upper Lonsdale and Keith Road areas, do appear to be linked.
