After a slew of recent thefts in Fort Erie, Niagara Regional Police are out with the public safety message to lock it or lose it.
The NRP are urging residents to ensure they're taking proactive measures to protect their property.
Among the tips, always lock your vehicle, never leave it running and unattended and to park in well lit areas.
For your homes, keep your doors and windows locked, don't advertise what you have or when you vacation on social media, always make it look like someone is home and encourage your neighbours to call police if they spot something suspicious.
