The Winnipeg Police Service would like to remind citizens to lock out-of-view doors when doing yard work. Many persons are taking advantage of the warmer weather to complete yard work and gardening tasks. All the while, persons involved in criminal activity attempt take advantage of unsuspecting homeowners by entering residences through unlocked doors and stealing personal property. Taking a few minutes to ensure doors are locked can assist in protecting homeowners.
