The vehicles were taken between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. One vehicle was taken from the driveway of a residence in the Cunningham Boulevard and Armour Road area and the second from the Clancy Crescent and Spillsbury Drive area.
In both cases, broken glass was found in the driveways where the vehicles had been parked. Some of the items from the first theft were located in the Old Norwood Road and Naish Drive area.
In recent months, Peterborough Police have received multiple incident reports, with the focus continuing to be on Toyota vehicles, primarily trucks and larger SUVs.
In most cases, a suspect or lookout vehicle is involved and residents are asked to watch for unknown vehicles with people inside during the late evening or early morning hours, parked on the street for extended periods.
The Peterborough Police Service is working with other police jurisdictions and is asking residents with these vehicles to be extra vigilant.
The Police suggest the public to consider taking the following precautions:
parking another vehicle in front of the vehicle or in your garage, if possible, to make it difficult for thieves to drive off
if your vehicle comes with a tracking system, please make sure it is installed and activated
using a theft deterrent device
