Residents in Oakville, Ont. are on high alert as break-ins targeting homes backing onto green spaces and trail systems have surged since October.
For Maqsood Soomro, whose home borders a green space, the break ins have been an ongoing horror. His property has been targeted three times, with the most recent incident involving an attempt to steal his car, despite having a mobilizer installed.
“They think they can get away with it,” Soomro said. “My family is very uncomfortable now, I’m sure it will happen again.”
Soomro expressed frustration over the recent increase in break-ins, questioning if enough is being done to tackle the issue. “When we reported it, the police asked if we had insurance. But it’s not about the insurance, it’s a criminal on your property,” he said. “I want to get rid of the car now.”
