York Regional Police continues to receive reports of residential break and enters across the region. We want to encourage our citizens to take proactive steps to help keep their home safe. Break and enters are often crimes of opportunity. The more difficult you make it for thieves to break into your home, the more likely it is that they will move along.
Be aware of suspicious people or vehicles in your neighbourhood and call police immediately if you’re concerned. We will respond to these calls.
