Lake Country…. lock it up!  At least four reports of thefts from vehicle were reported from the Robinson Road area of Lake Country between March 17 and 20th.  Someone took a phone, a dash-cam, a GPS unit and woofer from a car parked on Eva Road during the early hours of March 17th.  On March 20th three more reports were received of unlocked vehicles being entered.   A man was seen inside a vehicle at 4:15 a.m. rummaging through a car parked in a driveway on the 11,200 block of Okanagan Centre Road East.  The man, wearing a blue hoodie and black pants, appeared to be empty-handed when walking away but had a couple pairs of inexpensive sunglasses.  A jeep Patriot was entered on the 2500 block of Robinson Road and the suspect left with some change and a Jeep tire inflation tool.  The suspect then hit the jackpot at a nearby residence on Robinson Road, entering an SUV in a carport and getting a wallet with debit cards, credit cards and ID.  A credit card was quickly used to withdraw funds at several banks and the tap feature of the debit cards was used a few times as well.
