Squamish RCMP are reminding the public to not leave valuables in their vehicles when parking in public camping grounds or in the local provincial parks.
This reminder from the police comes after someone reported their vehicle had been broken in the Cat Lake campground on August 24th early in the morning.
Taken from the Grey Nissan Sentra were bags and suitcases containing climbing gear and two American passports. It was reported that a small red hatchback was seen driving out of the campground a few hours later. A picture of this vehicle was obtained at that time, and police are still investigating the thefts.
Squamish RCMP is also seeking the public’s assistance with locating suspects who may have started a fire just south of Brunswick Beach Road. The fire was to the grass portion on an unnamed road that goes down towards the CN train tracks. The fire was contained but appeared to be human made.
Foot patrols of the area indicated signs of people squatting in the area. The police are looking for anyone with information about the file to contact the Squamish RCMP.
Police also received a report of a break and enter to a commercial tire company on Government Road, where it became know than a ‘person of interest’ nine rims to a local scrap metal location. This file remains under investigation pending possible charges. Police are also investigating a gift card fraud.
Anyone with information relating to any of these incidents or other crimes is encouraged to contact the Squamish RCMP at 604-892-6100 or by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
