"The warmer weather and extended daylight hours bring more people out-and-about," says Staff Sergeant Warren Brown. "Keeping your doors locked to houses, buildings, sheds and vehicles will discourage opportunistic thieves." The Williams Lake RCMP would like to remind residents to keep an eye out for one another. "If you observe suspicious or unusual activity, you are encouraged to phone the Williams Lake detachment at (250) 392-6211 or 911 for emergencies."
