Vehicle Crime Prevention - Park Ward and the surrounding area

We have recently received reports of vehicle crime in and around the Park Ward area. We would like to remind residents to take a few simple precautions to help reduce the risk of becoming a victim.

Please help protect your vehicle by:

Always locking your vehicle, even if leaving it unattended for only a short time.

Ensuring all windows, sunroofs and doors are fully secured.

Removing all valuables from your vehicle, including bags, wallets, mobile phones, tools and electronic devices.

Not leaving items on display, as even low-value items can attract opportunistic thieves.

Taking sat navs and dash cams with you where possible and removing any mounting brackets or suction marks from the windscreen.

Parking in well-lit areas and using additional security devices where possible.

Many vehicle crimes are committed opportunistically, with offenders targeting vehicles that appear insecure or contain items of value. By taking a few simple precautions, you can significantly reduce the chances of becoming a victim.

If you witness any suspicious activity around vehicles, please report it to West Yorkshire Police via 101 or online. If a crime is in progress, always call 999.

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