Vehicle Crime Prevention

Vehicle Crime Prevention

Vehicle crime can happen anywhere, but a few simple precautions can greatly reduce the risk of becoming a victim.

✅ Always lock your vehicle and ensure all windows, sunroofs and tailgates are fully closed, even when parked at home.

✅ Remove valuables from sight. Bags, phones, wallets, tools and other items left in vehicles can attract thieves.

✅ Take keys with you and never leave them in the ignition or inside the vehicle.

✅ Use additional security measures such as steering wheel locks, tracking devices or approved vehicle security systems.

✅ Protect keyless vehicles. Keep key fobs away from doors and windows and consider using a signal-blocking pouch.

✅ Park smart. Whenever possible, park in well-lit areas, secure car parks or locations covered by CCTV.

✅ Be vigilant. Report anyone acting suspiciously around parked vehicles or attempting door handles in your area.

🚨 If a crime is taking place, call 999.
📞 For non-emergencies, report to police via 101 or online.

Working together can help reduce vehicle crime and keep our neighbourhoods safe.
