Two vehicles were reportedly stolen from the driveway of a Whistler home this week, RCMP has confirmed.
In an email, a Whistler RCMP spokesperson said police received a report earlier this week that a black Ford truck and silver SUV were taken from a driveway on Lakeshore Drive in Emerald Estates in the early hours of Monday, Feb. 10.
The following day, Mounties received a separate report of items stolen from a vehicle in the same area.
“It is not clear whether these two separate thefts are linked, but we would ask anyone who has video surveillance or who noticed anything suspicious in the Emerald Estates area during the night of Feb. 9 to the morning of Feb. 10, 2025, to contact our Whistler RCMP investigators,” wrote media relations officer, Cpl. Katrina Boehmer.
The Whistler RCMP detachment can be reached at 604-932-3044.
Police said they would not offer any further information on the case with the investigation ongoing.
Boehmer did offer some crime prevention tips for vehicle owners:
- Always keep your vehicle locked and use an anti-theft device.
- Do not keep spare keys in your vehicle.
- Do not leave valuables and property in your vehicle, including garage door openers.
- Wait for automatic gates to close behind you if you enter or leave a secure parking area.
- Report suspicious persons or activity around vehicles to your local police.
