According to police, nine vehicles were stolen over the span of 10 days – from Aug. 2 to Aug. 11. In all instances the vehicles were left unlocked with the keys inside.
“Theft of auto is almost always a crime of opportunity,” Regina Police Service Inspector Cory Lindskog said in a news release.
“This investigation is an important reminder for the public to always lock vehicle doors and take the keys out of the vehicle.”
Police say thefts occurred in Regina, Avonlea, Wilcox, Milestone, Emerald Park, Aylesbury and White City.
During two of the thefts, the suspect was involved in a hit-and-run, according to police. No injuries were reported in either of the incidents.
