Good Afternoon 

We have received few reports of offenders walking around the area trying the doors of parked cars both on the street and on driveways in the Stockport area. 

Offenders have simply tried the door handle and on finding the door locked have then walked off. 
 

We urge all residents to remain alert and vigilant and to report any suspicious activity immediately on 101 or 999. We also urge all residents to ensure that vehicles are locked before going to bed, please consider getting into the habit of clicking “lock” on the remote as part of your bedtime locking-up routine.

 

It is also worth periodically physically checking that all locks on your vehicle are engaging and that all doors including the boot are locking when the car is locked as lock mechanism and motors do fail.

Officers will be out in the area increasing patrols at the key times. 

Kind regards
