Vehicle crime

Posted on June 27 2011

The police have informed us of an increase in theft from motor vehicles. High value items have been stolen such as SatNav’s, phones, mobiles and laptops. Most of the incidents occurred overnight from vehicles that had been left unlocked with valuables on display.

It appears that the offenders are opportunists walking down driveways at night trying car doors and they have got very lucky recently so are unlikely to give up this night time activity.

Please ensure you secure your vehicles at all times and remove anything of value. It is also a good idea to drop the glove box down so offenders can see that their is nothing worth stealing in there. Many insurance companies will not pay out for your loss if the vehicle was left unsecured.
