Crime Alert -Theft from Vehicles​​​​​​​

Dear Resident,

If you find this information helpful please “rate” this message at the bottom (very quick and simple).

It’s unfortunate to send another message of this type 10 days on from my last but I just want to reiterate the crime prevention advice again due to another incident in this area which is has been part of series involving different individuals each time which police are presently investigating.

Once again offences have predominantly taken place night, whether a vehicle is parked in a driveway or on the street. It would appear that a majority of offences being opportunistic where by persons are seen are trying car/van door handles. Once entered untidy searches are made and items stolen.

Most offences of theft from vehicle are opportunist. If valuable possessions (e.g. handbags, laptops, mobile phones) are left on show inside a vehicle, it is much more likely to be targeted by thieves.

Even items of little value, such as shopping bags and clothing, may tempt a potential thief to break into the vehicle to see whether they contain anything worth stealing.
