Police are reporting a “crime spree” in the Naramata area after responding to eight calls for service on April 14, beginning at 6:30 a.m.
A Debeck Road resident reported two quads were stolen from his front yard overnight. They are described as a 2006 black Honda Arctic Cat and a 2009 red Honda.
Tools were stolen from a vehicle parked at a Ritchie Road residence. A resident of McPhee Road reported that the garage of their property was entered overnight and a Stihl chainsaw, leaf blower and weed-wacker were stolen.
A Robinson Road resident reported that Rayban sunglasses were stolen out of her vehicle and a resident of the 2600 block of Naramata Road reports his U-Built trailer and black and white Polaris side-by-side ATV was stolen. The items were locked to a tree in the yard of the residence and the lock was cut, police said.
A Hayman Road resident had his tools stolen from his vehicle including a drill, the name “Riley” is written on the tools, police said.
A child’s bicycle was stolen from a Boothe Road address.
Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the individuals responsible for these thefts.
“I want to remind the public to secure their vehicles and outbuildings to make things a bit more difficult for thieves,” said Cpl. Chris Richardson of the Penticton RCMP. “It is evident that they went to great lengths to cut locks and overcome security, however in the majority of incidents it appears to have been an easy opportunity to take valuables from an insecure location.”
Anyone with information regarding suspicious vehicles in the Naramata area on Wednesday night and Thursday moorings should report to Cpl. Richardson at 250-492-4300 or anonymously with Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
