Like bad cheques, shop lifting tends to increase during the Christmas sea- son and the' OPP recom- mends that merchants 'prosecute shop-lifters.. A slap on the wrist is not enough of a deterrent, said Constable Dunham. In an effort to help police apprehend criminals, it was recommended that merch- ants take several precaut- ionary measures.

Bait money with the serial numbers recorded can be kept in the cash register at all time, and if this money is stolen police can start to trace it when the robber spends it. There are many things a merchant can do to prevent crime from happening. Locks on doors and windows should be heavy duty. Places of business should be well, lit, both inside and outside. And the installa- tion of any one of a variety of alarm systems presently on the market serves as a deterrent, and makes it easier for police to appre- hend a criminal' And police say that any kind of suspicious looking activity should be noted and reported. There has been an in- crease in crime in the Port Perry area recently, and as the community grows, the incidents of crime are likely to increase. However, as was indicated last week, there are many things that the merchants and the general public can do to assist the police in prevent- ing crime and bringing to justice those who break the law. Correction A story on page 23 in last week's edition of the Port Perry Star regarding a petition for the removal of horses in Blackstock contained two errors. The petition, which was presented to Port Perry council on November 28, requested the implementation * of arestricted animal by-law to cover the old section of * Blackstock, and not the removal of two specific horses as the story and headline stated. The story also said the yard where two horses are _now being kept is bounded by only a snow fence. In fact, half the yard is bounded by a snow fence, and the remainder by a wooden barrier fence.
