NEW Westminster Police are advising residents to remain alert after suspicious glue markings were discovered on apartment doors in a multi-family building in the 200 block of 11th Street.
Residents in the building reported finding small strands of glue placed between apartment doors and their frames across nine different floors.
The discovery was made after residents read a media release from the Vancouver Police Department describing a method thieves have been using to identify vacant apartments.
In the incidents reported by Vancouver Police, suspects applied a small strand of glue between a door and the frame. When a resident opens the door, the glue breaks. If the strand remains intact, it may signal that no one is home and the suite could be targeted for a break-and-enter.
“Credit goes to the Vancouver Police Department for quickly sharing information about this crime trend,” said Sgt. Andrew Leaver. “Residents here in New Westminster read that information, talked with their neighbours, and then checked their own building.”
Police say the situation highlights how sharing information from official police sources can help communities stay ahead of emerging crime trends.
Officers have attended the building and are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the discovery. Residents are encouraged to watch for unusual markings or materials such as glue or tape placed near their doors. Anyone who notices suspicious activity or believes their home may have been targeted is asked to contact the New Westminster Police Department at 604-525-5411.
