Steinbach RCMP are bringing the public’s attention to the recent increase of motor vehicle thefts, thefts of ATVs, and thefts from inside vehicles, that have recently taken place in Steinbach and surrounding communities.
Police are offering up some tips to not only prevent these types of crimes, but to help keep our community safe as well.
Please always remember to:

- keep your vehicles locked, even if parking them in an indoor garage and always keep the doors to the inside of your residence locked that connect the residence to the garage. Remember to lock your garage doors as well
- remove all valuables (cash, wallets, ID, laptops, presents, etc.) from the interior of your vehicle, especially if parking your vehicle for the night
- never leave your keys inside your vehicle and your vehicle unattended
- place hitch locks on any trailers that are left outdoors or unattended
