Warm Weather Means More Crime

When the heat rises, so does the rate of crime.

Sergeant Derrick Forret of the Rothesay Regional Police tells CHSJ News that in the valley, they see an increase in property crime when the weather warms up including stealing from cars that aren't locked and knocking over mailboxes because more people are roaming around during the nighttime.

Forret tells us that you should be making sure all your valuables are out of your car, or stored in your trunk. He says even bicycles in your driveway should be stored out of sight.
