Crime Prevention - Thefts from motor vehicles
Following a rise in the number of thefts from motor vehicles please note the following advice:
Take all valuables with you when you leave your vehicle. Even Sat Nav marks on a screen or a bag or jacket left visible can appeal to the opportunist thief.
Whether you are paying for fuel or doing the school run, never leave the keys in the ignition or leave windows or sun roof ajar.
Wherever you park choose an area that is in view from passers-by and well lit.
Out shopping ? Make sure your keys are secure – it only takes a few seconds for a pickpocket to strike.
Put purchases in the boot rather than the back seat.
