Steinbach RCMP recently received two reports of cell phone thefts in the area.

Last week Tuesday, a resident of Southwood Drive told police that their vehicle had been rummaged through during the night and a cell phone had been taken. A further investigation revealed that a second vehicle had been vandalized during the same night.

Meanwhile, RCMP say another cell phone was stolen on August 8 when the owner of a silver 64 GB iPhone X left it in the Clearspring Mall washroom. When he realized his mistake and returned to retrieve it, the phone was gone.

Police do not believe the two events are related.

Anyone with additional information on either of these thefts is asked to contact Steinbach RCMP or crime stoppers.
