Police say between late Thursday night and early Friday morning personal identification papers and valuables were stolen. The thefts occurred in the area of Company, Livinia and Terrance streets. Many of the cars were unlocked and valuables were in plain view.
Police say they usually see an increase in this type of theft as the holiday season approaches.
Police spokesman Constable Ken MacDonald says this is a crime of opportunity where criminals focus on unlocked vehicles.
