Rise in thefts from vehicles

Following a rise in the number of vehicles being broken into throughout the County, please be aware of the following crime prevention advice:

. Not leaving doors or windows unlocked when vehicles are unattended.

. Making sure items which could contain valuables, such as jackets or bags are concealed away from view, or better still not left in the vehicle at all. Remember to also remove stereo fascias and sat navs.

. Activating any security devices when leaving your car unattended.

. Removing valuable items from vehicles overnight.
