We have received a number of reports recently of vehicle interference around our Rural beat area and just wanted to remind everyone how to help keep your vehicle safe.

🔹 Keep doors locked and do not leave windows open.

🔹 Do not leave any valuables on display.

🔹 Remove sat navs from display and wipe the mark from the window where it has been secured.

🔹 Tech such as tablets, phones, laptops etc - take them with you.

🔹 If you intend to leave items in the vehicle place them in the boot and not the glove box or under the seat.

🔹 Put away charging cables.

🔹 Leave the glove box open and sun visors down to show there is nothing hidden.

🔹 Don't leave any bags or clothing or loose change on display

👀 All of the above points were identified by a known criminal as to what to look for when breaking into a vehicle.
