Unknown person trying vehicle doors

Community Safety Message – Winyates & Matchborough

Good evening residents,

We would like to make residents in the Winyates and Matchborough areas aware that reports have been made to police regarding an unknown person believed to be trying vehicle door handles during the evening hours in the Winyates area.

At this time, we are encouraging residents to remain vigilant and to take simple steps to help protect their vehicles and property:

Always ensure your vehicle is locked and secure, even if parked on your driveway.

Double-check that keys, key fobs, wallets, handbags, and other valuables are not left inside vehicles.

Consider using a steering wheel lock or additional vehicle security devices where appropriate.

Ensure any home CCTV, doorbell cameras, or security lighting are operational.

Report any suspicious behaviour, persons, or vehicles seen acting unusually in your neighbourhood.

If you have CCTV or doorbell footage that may assist police enquiries, please retain it and contact us.

Residents are reminded that offenders will often target vehicles that have been left insecure, taking advantage of opportunities where doors have been left unlocked.

If you witness a crime in progress or believe there is an immediate risk to life or property, please call 999. For non-emergency information or to report suspicious activity, please contact police via 101 or through the online reporting portal.

Thank you for your continued support in helping to keep our communities safe.
