South Muskoka Doppler reports that Bracebridge OPP is investigating an October 27 grocery-store break-in in Port Carling. According to the report, someone used tools to smash the front glass doors and entered the store. Cigarettes and cash were reported stolen. The described entry involved the glass in the doors, so glass resistance is the relevant physical consideration. As general prevention guidance, inspect accessible glass doors for damage and arrange repairs when needed. Security window film can help hold broken glass fragments together and add resistance to access, subject to the glass and installation. It cannot guarantee that entry will be prevented. Keep displays clear of glass so staff can check its condition and see outside. Added physical delay can give an alarm response or a nearby observer more time to notice an attempt.
