22/04/26: Vehicle crime , particularly theft from motor vehicle , remains a priority for us. Recent arrests have had a positive impact, but our work to tackle vehicle crime continues.
We want to be clear that victims are never to blame, however, we are still seeing incidents where vehicles are left insecure, or valuables are left inside, which can increase opportunities for offending. Simple preventative steps can make a real difference.
We encourage all members of the public to :
-Lock vehicles every time they are left, even for short periods.
-Remove valuables from view
-Report any suspicious behaviour or activity in their area as soon as possible.
