A Molly Maid vehicle was broken into this week and a number of clients91Ƶ house keys and fobs were stolen.

Molly Maid marketing manager Kelly Riley-Dunbavin told Peace Arch News via email Thursday that the company 91Ƶswiftly91Ƶ dealt with the incident after discovering the break in at 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 21.

She wrote that a Molly Maid vehicle, which was used by a longtime route manager, was broken into between 9:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 20-21.

Riley-Dunbavin wrote that a report was filed with the RCMP, which Surrey RCMP confirmed to PAN, and the Surrey-White Rock franchisee immediately contacted and spoke to each of the seven customers whose keys were stolen.

91ƵTaken from the car was a binder containing very limited information for seven MOLLY MAID customers (six actual keys, and 2 fobs that accompanied the keys and one door code) as well as a bag of MOLLY MAID cleaning cloths. Fortunately, the keys/fobs/entry code corresponded to a secure and unique coding system that only the Route Manager would be able to decipher,91Ƶ she wrote.

Riley-Dunbavin wrote that the two fobs were deactivated and the door code was immediately changed.

91ƵWe worked with two locksmiths to have the locks of the remaining six homes changed immediately,91Ƶ she wrote.

Riley-Dunbavin reported that no clients91Ƶ homes were broken into as a result of the incident.

91ƵWe, at Support Office, are very proud of the way our local franchisee, over 32 years, dealt with this matter,91Ƶ she wrote.

The Surrey RCMP issued a news release Oct. 17 saying that there has been an increase in overnight residential break-and-enters in the city.

In many cases, police reported, the residential break-ins occurred after suspects accessed a garage door opener that had been stored inside a vehicle parked on the driveway of the home.

Thursday, Surrey RCMP Const. Richard Wright stressed the importance of not leaving anything of value inside a vehicle, including garage door openers or keys.
