Bowen Island’s reputation as a safe place to live and visit is largely due to neighbours, businesses, and visitors helping each other out. Unfortunately, the Bowen Island RCMP have investigated a few isolated thefts this summer, including a theft of and from a motor vehicle during the baseball tournament.
Some valuables were stolen from the vehicle along with the ignition keys.
Although there are fewer incidents of crime, Bowen Island is still susceptible to thefts, break and enters, and other offences.
We are all reminded to keep our valuables secure and out of sight especially when they will be left unattended for a lengthy amount of time.
Opportunistic crimes are preventable when simple safety measures are taken.
