Auto theft rate shoots up

AUTO-RELATED crime is skyrock-
cling in Terrace and throughout the
province, according to ICBC and Ter-
race RCMP,

The police report that thefts of cars
and trucks in our city has doubled
since last year, while thefts fom
vehicles has increased 150 per cent,

And the crime spree isn’t just
limited to downtown. In residential
areas, thefis of and from vehicles is
up, on average, 165 per cent. In
Thornhill, such thefts have increased a
whopping 400 per cent.

Today, across B.C, an average of 42
vehicles will be stolen, and police say
this figure is on the increase, Appar-
ently, no vehicle is safe, from trucks
to family sedans, domestics to im-
ports.

So far this year, 71 vehicles have

been stolen in Terrace. Most of these
have been recovered, indicating that
many may have been joy-rides, But
just why the numbers are up so
dramatically is a bit of a mystery,
“We really don’t know how to ac-
count for the increases,’ says Con-
stable Tracie Harvie of Terrace
RCMP. “But crime is going up all
over. The important thing is to.look at
ways of deterring crime.” ,
Harvie says that even simple things
like remembering to close windows
and lock the car is an effective deter-

rent for criminals. Other deterrents in-|

HUNDREDS OF vehicles
were stopped and a total of
ten charges have been laid
.a8 a result of a DFO road-
block, August 5.

The Department of
Fisheries and Oceans road-
block was set up east of the
Kalum River,

Of the 350 vehicles
stopped, 195 of those were
checked for fish, firearms
and wildlife.

Two charges of retention
of undersized trout netted
anglers fines of $300 apiece,
while two other anglers
were each fined $250 for
retention of chinook,

In total, some $1,800 in
fines were handed out.

Twenty eight other
charges have also been laid
over the last three weeks, in-
cluding nine failures to
record adult Chinook
catches.

DFO officers will con-
tinue to patrol the shores of
our rivers and set up random
roadblocks to catch law-
breakers.

The officers remind
anglers to keep accurate
records of their catches and
to have their licences on
them whenever fishing or
