Over the last few weeks, there has been an increase in sheds being broken into and thefts from vehicles throughout the City.   Police are reminding the public of a few preventative measures that can reduce the risk of being a victim of property crimes:

• Keep vehicle doors locked and remove all valuables, especially purses, wallets, tools and sporting goods equipment.
• If possible, ensure your yard is well lit at night and have video surveillance.
• Keep shed and residence doors locked.  Don’t make it easy for culprits to steal your property.
• Report suspicious activity immediately to Police.

Charlottetown Police Services responded to a report of a  fisherman that fell off the pier into the water at the Charlottetown Harbour early this afternoon.

It is reported that  bystanders attempted to rescue the man but could not reach him in time due to water conditions.
