Mornings are already hard enough as it is.
With the recent cold snap plunging Calgary into a week-long deep freeze, many Calgarians have taken to staring their car and leaving it unsupervised to warm up for the morning commute — an act that police have been warning against in their Operation Cold Start campaign.
Police say that leaving your vehicle unattended while running is an easy way to see it stolen, and have now issued warrants for the arrest of a suspect that they believe has been doing just that.

Two suspects have already been arrested, though Cameron remains outstanding.
