Warm-up thefts

Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: While it’s tempting this time of year to start your vehicle and leave it running to warm up, it’s also an open invitation for thieves looking to drive away with your car.

Please do not leave your vehicle unattended with the keys in the ignition.

Don’t let your warm car become a hot car.
