The Iqaluit RCMP have responded to a significant amount of Break and Enters to non-residential buildings, with 36 reports in the last four weeks. Some locations were targeted multiple times over that period. In an effort to address this issue, Iqaluit RCMP will be increasing their presence in the community overnight with proactive patrols to check buildings and areas frequently being targeted.
Iqaluit RCMP is asking the public to report any information that may assist in identifying the persons responsible for any of these break and enters, including the identity of the persons photographs. We would also ask the public to remain diligent in securing their properties, ensuring any CCTV is operational and report any suspicious activity or persons in possession of unexplained large amounts of cash or property.
While these Break and Enters appear to be financially motivated, we are still reminding the public to never physically confront a person in the midst of a Break and Enter and rather to call the RCMP's emergency line immediately.
Anyone with information is ask to contact the Iqaluit RCMP at 867-975-0123.
