🚗 Vehicle Crime Prevention Advice

Dear Resident,

Recent reports serve as a reminder that vehicle crime can happen quickly and often without attracting attention, even in busy locations.

Taking a few simple precautions can significantly reduce the risk of your vehicle becoming a target for opportunist thieves:

✅ Always lock your vehicle and ensure all windows are fully closed
✅ Double-check door handles before walking away
✅ Remove valuables and avoid leaving items on display
✅ Use a steering wheel lock or other security device where possible
✅ Park in well-lit areas and locations covered by CCTV
✅ Stay aware of anyone acting suspiciously around vehicles
✅ Consider fitting a tracking device, particularly for high-value, prestige, or 4x4 vehicles

📞 If you notice suspicious activity, report it to the police by calling 101. In an emergency, or if a crime is in progress, always call 999.

By remaining vigilant and taking preventative measures, we can work together to protect our vehicles and keep our communities safe.
