Thieves are keeping police in the Shuswap area hopping with a noticeable increase in theft from vehicles and theft of vehicles.

And people are once again being reminded to lock it, or lose it.

Salmon Arm RCMP Staff Sgt. Scott West said would be thieves have been prowling in the night time hours, entering vehicles that are, in most cases, left unlocked.

“In some cases, the keys to the vehicle have been left in the vehicles. The vehicles with keys left in them have been stolen,” said West.

“In two cases, trucks were stolen with ATVs in the box or on the flat deck. As for ATVs, if at all possible, do not leave them in the back of a truck and lock them up out of sight and again do not leave the keys in them. “

In cases where there were thefts from the vehicles, cash, change, expensive sunglasses, electronics and wallets and purses were taken.
