Valuables stolen from vehicles in Castleford

Good afternoon

Valuables were stolen from vehicles in Castleford in the early hours of Thursday 17 July. These occurred at Stonecrop Drive and Shakespeare Crescent.

Stolen items included a wallet, cash, debit cards and sunglasses.

Investigations are ongoing.

Please remain vigilant and take the following precautions:

Always lock your car, even when parked on your driveway.

Never leave items like wallets, bags or electronics visible inside your car.

Always double check that you have locked your vehicle by trying the door handle.

Vehicles with unfolded electric wing mirrors could indicate that it has been left unlocked. Car thieves are known to look out for vehicles with wing mirrors sticking out.
Offences can take place anywhere, in a car park, at the side of the road or on your driveway.

Report any suspicious activity to the police and inform your neighbours.
