Unfortunately we have seen a spike in theft from vehicles across the district overnight. Regrettably, a number of the vehicles that were targeted had been left unlocked.
Therefore we are urging residents to follow the below advice:
· Double check your vehicle(s) before leaving them unattended, ensuring all doors are locked, all windows are shut and any sun roofs are closed.
· Never leave any valuables in your vehicle – not even in the glove-box or boot – and keep all other possessions out of sight. Even if you know that there is nothing valuable in your coat pocket or bag left on the back seat, a thief may try their luck.
· Remove your sat nav and its holder, and wipe away any suction marks as these could suggest to a potential thief that a sat nav is stored in your vehicle
