🛡️ Is Metrotown safe?

Metrotown is in Burnaby, outside the City of Vancouver, so Vancouver Police data does not cover it — policing here is by Burnaby RCMP. The rule that matters most anywhere in Metro Vancouver still applies: leave nothing visible in a parked car, because theft from vehicles is one of the most common crimes in the region.
