Alberton SPCA issues crime alert after attempted vehicle thefts

The Alberton SPCA is urging visitors to be extra vigilant after two separate attempts to steal vehicles occurred during recent visits to their facility.

The SPCA confirmed that the incidents took place within the last week, with thieves attempting to break into cars parked outside the premises.

The SPCA, which does not have CCTV surveillance, relies on a local security company for protection, but officials are emphasizing the need for greater awareness.

The festive season is upon us, and we all need to be especially cautious as criminal activity tends to increase during this time.

The SPCA is advising all visitors to secure their vehicles and belongings, and to remain vigilant of their surroundings.

Visitors are advised to avoid leaving valuables visible in their cars and to report any suspicious activity immediately.

The SPCA is working closely with the security company to ensure the safety of both visitors and animals.
