That word from Sgt. Bob MacKnight with District 1 RCMP in St. Stephen.
He says local police have noticed an increase in property related offences, such as break and enters, theft, and mischief, with 3 calls being reported just yesterday.
MacKnight says the thefts related to all sorts of structures and various items of value were taken. He says this kind of criminal activity is indicative of the time of year. The warmer it gets, the more criminals act.
If you have seen any suspicious people or vehicles, he says you should report it to the RCMP.
If you have any information on these crimes, you are asked to call local police in St. Stephen @ 466-7030 or in St. George @ 755-1130.
