The RCMP report that the community of Carberry has been stricken by what they are calling "car hopping." Since May 5 there has been at least a dozen break ins where thieves have stolen small items such as petty cash to more expensive thing like GPS units. In many of the cases the vehicles were left unlocked allowing the thieves an easy means of entry. In some cases there was nothing missing but the thieves vandalized the vehicle.
The police are reminding people to lock their vehicles and to make sure valuables are out of sight. Also if you have any more information that can lead to the solution of this crime you are asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
