RCMP on PEI are urging Islanders to be vigilant after an increase in break-and-enter incidents over the past several days.
They say the spike in reported cases mostly involves entry into outdoor buildings, sheds, and unlocked vehicles.
Police say several incidents were reported in the Cornwall and Stratford areas.
The Mounties say people can take precautions, such as using good locks on outdoor buildings, and installing motion-sensor lights.
