CrimeCanada.ca Safety Perspective

From a CrimeCanada.ca perspective, thefts of high-value property such as boats and trailers are a serious concern for coastal and rural communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. These items are portable, can be moved quickly between communities, and may be resold or stripped for parts, making early reporting and community awareness critical. Monitoring unusual activity around storage areas, private drives, and wharves—especially when you notice unfamiliar vehicles or trailers—can help deter theft and assist police if an incident occurs.

We encourage residents to document serial numbers, HINs, and license plates for all recreational vehicles and to photograph distinctive markings for their records. Promptly sharing suspicious observations with Bonavista RCMP (709-468-7333) or anonymously via Crime Stoppers (1-800-222-8477) strengthens community safety and supports law enforcement in recovering stolen property and identifying those responsible.
