The Sooke RCMP are reminding residences to lock their doors and secure their properties to prevent crimes of opportunity. "Close and lock all your windows and doors each time you leave your house and before you go to sleep" said S/Sgt. Greg Willcocks. " We have seen unfortunate incidences where these suspects have gained entry into a house simply because the door was unlocked. Thieves will often seek a criminal path of least resistance and if they locate an unsecured house or business, they will target that one over a locked house."
