Thieves targeting tanks

If you drive an R-V that uses a propane tank, you might want to make sure it’s secure.

RCMP say thefts of the tanks are on the rise in the North Okanagan with most of the thefts involving unsecured tanks or ones in plain view.

“RCMP continue to investigate multiple theft reports where propane tanks are being taken from recreational vehicles throughout the North Okanagan. Majority of the reports made to police involve tanks that were not secured to the RV or were in plain view,” said Const. Kelly Brett.

Owners of tanks, either at home or with RV’s, are advised to label their tanks with identifiable markings, making them easier to identify if recovered.
