Shattering spree

LOCAL CAR WINDOW installers were busy last week
after 52 cars were broken into March 3 in the Lower
Lonsdale area.

Most of the vehicles had their rear-side windows bro-
ken, said a North Vancouver RCMP spokesman,

Stereos and money left in the cars were stolen.

During the crime spree, a new Chevrolet pickup truck
was taken from the 300-block of East Third Street.

Police believe two males who also stole a Toyota
Camry may be involved in most of the thefts,

The males were foiled in the Camry theft by the car’s
owner, who went down to the underground parking lot
at 310 East Third St. after hearing his car alarm, accord-
ing to an RCMP police spokesman.

The males took off with the Camry while the owner
chased them on foot at approximately 3 a.m., said the
police spokesman.

The car was subsequently abandoned and the two
males were last seen jumping into a pickup truck match-
ing the description of the stolen Chevrolet,

Police remind residents not to leave valuables in cars.
Security gates in underground lots should be closed and
residents should make sure that no one follows their car
into an underground lot when the gate is open.
