It's been an almost nightly occurrence in the City of Moose Jaw for a number of years but now it looks like thieves have turned their attention to the rural communities.

Moose Jaw RCMP are telling us that they were called around 6 o'clock Monday morning to the Village of Tuxford as two men in their 20's were reportedly rummaging through unlocked vehicles. Investigators say residents approached the suspects who then fled the area in two separate stolen vehicles. Those vehicles were later recovered by RCMP.

Officers are asking residents to be on alert for suspicious activity and call RCMP if you see anything unusual. They're also reminding vehicle owners to lock their doors at night.
