MOTORISTS REMINDED TO BE COGNIZANT OF WILDLIFE NEAR ROADWAYS
(SD&G) – SD&G OPP wish to remind motorists of the dangers of wildlife on roadways this time of year. More movement in the deer population results in the wild animals being near and crossing roadways in rural areas. Over the past weekend, SD&G OPP officers investigated a total of 10 vehicle/deer collisions on area roads.
Following simple driving techniques will reduce the chance of being involved in a collision;
– Be extra vigilant during morning (dawn) and evening (dusk) commutes as visibility is reduced and wildlife are more active. Reduce your speed accordingly
– Be aware of signage in areas known for deer crossing
– Deer seldom run alone, if you see one, chances are there will be more
– When safe to do so, use high beams when driving at night and scan the ditch area
– If you need to avoid deer on roadways, do not swerve, brake firmly and stay in your lane so not to lose control of your vehicle
– If you are in a collision with a deer, report same to police
By being a safe and cautious driver, fewer collisions occur, resulting in a reduction of injuries and lives saved.

Increase in West End Thefts from Vehicles
15-9028, 9107, 9186, 9223, 9281, 9285, 9394, 9415
Detectives from the General Crime Unit are advising the public of an increase in thefts from vehicles and to seek assistance from anyone who may be able to further the investigation.
Beginning on April 4th, 2015 and continuing through to April 8th multiple west end residents have been reporting vehicles in their driveways being ransacked overnight or in the early morning hours, usually with items of small value like CD’s, sunglasses, loose change, etc. being stolen.
Streets where occurrences have been reported include Anne Street, Waverley Crescent, Aylmer Crescent, Willis Street, Lashford Street, Old Hillview Road and Carnaby Street. One complainant heard a noise and observed a young male exit from what is described as a newer model BMW sedan and walk up to the resident’s vehicle in an attempt to gain entry. When yelled at the male ran back to the car on the street and drove away.
In another incident a homeowner with exterior video surveillance captured a Caucasian male exiting from a dark-coloured four-door sedan and approach the address. The male is dressed in what appears to be light-coloured pants and a long-sleeved shirt. There is the possibility a second suspect may be staying in the vehicle on the roadway while the other approaches driveways for the purpose of stealing.
On April 9th some found property in a backyard was reported by a homeowner in the 1100 block of Lincoln Drive that could possibly be related to the thefts from vehicles in the area. These included a leaf blower, hedge trimmer, golf clubs and multiple tiles.
Kingston Police believe there may be other unreported occurrences and residents are urged to file a report online here or by calling 613-549-4660. Even if nothing was stolen or items taken are of small value detectives urge residents to still report the matter as it could assist them in discovering further evidence or using the crime analyst to look for geographical patterns of behaviour or other indicators.
In the majority of these cases vehicles are being unlocked, making these easier crimes of opportunity. However, one vehicle is reported to have been locked and a garage door opener was also taken, causing the homeowner concern that the suspect(s) may return.
Anyone with information is please asked to contact Detective Joel Fisher at 613-549-4660 ext 6338 or via email at jfisher@kpf.ca.
