Thompson RCMP have attended several break and enters over the last few weeks and are reminding residents of a few tips to avoid becoming a victim.
They say you should create the illusion of someone being home when you’re away by making sure mail is picked up, the yard is maintained, and lights are on.
They’re also asking residents to avoid keeping a spare key outside your home, and to avoid posting vacation plans on social media.
If you see any suspicious activity, call Thompson RCMP at 204-677-6909.
