Auto crime
soars here

AUTO crime rates in the Terrace region are way up over
last year.

According to ICBC numbers, a total of 332 auto
crime claims were logged in 2000 compared to only 175
in 1999, ~

Auto crime include vehicles stolen or vandalized as
weil as thefis from vehicles.

This comes just as the corporation released a report
saying that auto crime in 2000 was down one per cent in
B.C., compared to the previous year.

Dave Dickson, ICBC regional manager, says that the
local numbers can be deceiving.

“For our area, the petty stuff is up and the serious
stuff is down,” he said.

In 1999 the area including Terrace, Kitimat and the
Nass Valley recorded 44 vehicles stolen, the most ser-
ious type of auto crime.

That number dropped to 33 cars stolen last year, dawn
25 per cent.

When compared to the provincial average those num-
’ bers are’ very good indeed.

The province showed only a 2.8 per cent decrease in
theft of vehicle claims.
Dickson reminds d

ning unattended.

“It takes only five seconds to secure your vehicle and
only three seconds for a person io steal a vehicle,” he
said.

Hawkair
expands
into
Rupert

TERRACE-BASED Haw-
kair is venturing into the
Prince Rupert passenger
market as of Feb, 27,

It's a modest expansion
— one flight a day, twa
days a week — but that
may increase if demand
goes up, says Rod Hay-
ward, one of the compa-
ny’s three managing part-
ners.

The Prince Rupert
flights on Tuesday and Sa-
turday won’t affect Haw-
kair's Terrace service be-
cause it operates only one
flight on those days any-
way, he said.

“We'll still be depart-
ing here at 8 a.m. those °
days. The Rupert flights
will take place before we
return to Terrace, " Hay- .
ward added.

“And because we only
had one flight a day on
those two days, adding
Prince Rupert will give us
a little more utilization of
the aircraft .”

Hayward noted that

THEFTS OF VEHICLES may have dropped, but thefts from vehicles remains a
big problem. It only takes a minute to lock up a vehicle and it is a good habit to
undertake, says ICBC. The crown corporation and police also remind motorists
to remove valuables from plain sight to avoid them presenting an easy target.
