(QUINTE WEST, ON) – Over the past couple of weeks, an increasing number of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s) have been stolen from Eastern Ontario properties. A large number of these ATV’s had been left parked outside or left on the back of a trailer or pick-up truck.
The Quinte West detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police would like to remind ATV owners that when left unattended, ATVs should be locked inside a garage or outbuilding. Ensure the ignition key has been removed from the ATV and kept in your residence.
If you do not have a garage or outbuilding you can secure your ATV by chaining it to a tree or other permanent fixture.
