Reminder

In light of the theft of the above snow machine City Police would like to remind owners of snow machines that they can take steps to prevent becoming a victim of this type of crime. If at all possible, keep your machine in a garage or shed area that is secure. If you cannot secure the machine in a building then keep the area it is in well light up at night. If you drive around with your snow machine in the back of your pickup truck or on a trailer, ensure that the machine is chained in.
