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.”
