Airdrie RCMP have provided some tips for Airdronians to help keep auto thefts down within the city.
Jessica Hawkins, the acting corporal for the Community Unit in Airdrie, shared that Airdrie has seen around 120 auto thefts so far in 2025.
"It is important to do those normal checks and make sure your doors are locked at the end of the day."
Airdrie is on pace to see more auto thefts this year, as Airdrie had around 200 all of 2024.
"Making sure the garage is locked is also an important piece."
Also, ensuring that you don't leave anything intriguing out in the open that could entice the robbers is a good strategy.
"I also think it's important to identify if there are new people or kind of suspicious-looking vehicles lurking around or driving around."
She concluded by saying it is very important that if something gets stolen, to keep a list of what was stolen and report it to the RCMP.
The third most-stolen vehicle in the province was the Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra 2500 series, at 0.95 per cent.
Seven of the top 10 vehicles on the list were trucks. The remaining three were SUVs.
