Last week on Saturday, Strathroy-Caradoc Police were alerted by a concerned citizen about a suspicious vehicle near Hull Road and Penny Lane. As a result of this tip, officers were able to locate and recover a stolen grey 2001 GMC Sierra pickup truck that had previously been reported to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
This incident serves as a strong reminder that community awareness plays a vital role in public safety. If you notice something suspicious, don’t hesitate to report it. As the weather gets colder, please keep the following safety tips in mind, to always lock your vehicle, do not leave valuables inside your car, never leave your vehicle running and unattended with the keys inside. If possible, use an automatic starter instead.
