items such as fireplaces, furnaces, water heaters and air conditioning
units are on the rise and are resulting in serious losses to local
developers. If you suspect that someone is stealing from a construction
site near you report it immediately to Peel Regional Police 22 Division

and we'll share it with people on our Website.

Warm-up Theft
Neighbourhood Watch and Peel Police 22 Division are reminding residents
not to leave their vehicles running while unattended. During the
2000 and 2001 winter season, approximately 36 percent of all vehicle
thefts in the 22 Division area occurred while people left their
vehicles running and unattended in order to warm it up. These vehicles
are easy targets for potential thieves and many times become used
for further criminal activity including joy riding, re-sale, and
for use in break and enters and robberies. Often times, it's your
own neighbours who become victims of these secondary crimes making
the problem you've contributed to even worse. Should you become
aware of anyone in your neighbourhood warming up their vehicle while
it is unattended, please report the license plate to the Brampton
Safe City office by visiting our website @ www.bramptonsafecity.ca.
