Lacombe police are investigating a rash of vehicle break-ins on the weekend.
Police said that within a 24-hour period from Oct. 9-10, seven thefts from motor vehicles were reported. Thieves smashed out windows to get at belongings inside.
Police are asking residents in all areas of the city to be extra vigilant and to report any suspicious people or unusual activity.
Residents should ensure that vehicle doors are locked and wallets, purses, cellphones, sunglasses, spare change, and any other items of value are removed.
While windows were smashed on the weekend, usually unlocked doors are how belongings get stolen, said police.
