Crime Prevention Advice

Store vehicle keys away from doors and windows.

Consider using a signal-blocking pouch for keyless vehicle keys.

Use additional security such as steering wheel locks, trackers and immobilisers where possible.

Ensure CCTV and security lighting are working and cover vehicles parked outside your property.

Report suspicious individuals checking vehicle doors or acting suspiciously around parked vehicles via 101, or 999 if a crime is in progress.

Police are appealing for witnesses and any available footage that may assist with the investigation.

Stay Safe!
