Bonnyville RCMP Report Increase in Property Crime

The Bonnyville RCMP is reporting a major uptick in property crime this year.

Property crime has jumped by over 400 reports year over year, from about 1100 in 2014 to over 1500 this year. 512 counts of theft and 171 break and enters have been reported so far in 2015. The RCMP says these types of crimes are often very difficult to solve with little in the way of evidence and urge the public to take all the precautions they can.
