Rash of break-ins

There have been a rash of residential break-ins throughout the Kelowna area over the last week.

Since Castanet brought you the story of Elizabeth Shayev whose home was broken into Sunday morning, we have heard from two other people who have been victims of similar crimes.

The three break ins all occurred in the morning after the occupant had left and, in all three instances, only jewellery and small electronics were taken.

Larger items such as computers and TVs were left behind.

These break-ins took place:

  • Glenmore Wednesday, Dec. 10 between 10 a.m. and noon
  • Winfield Thursday, Dec. 11 between 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.
  • Brookside Ave Kelowna Sunday, Dec. 14 between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

RCMP Cst. Kris Clark, says in many instances of home break-ins, thieves are looking for smaller items when are easily sold for cash.

Larger items such as flat screen TVs can be harder to move and harder to sell.

Break ins are not uncommon and Clark reminds people to ensure their door are locked and windows shut when they leave the house, even for a short period of time.

Police have not indicated whether these three break-ins are related.
