Vehicle Crime Prevention


Dear Resident

 

Vehicle Crime Prevention

 

We have been made aware of a person trying to gain entry to a vehicle in your area and I wanted to provide you with some advice to keep your car safe.

 

Tips to prevent vehicle crime:

  • Ensure you lock doors and shut windows when leaving your vehicle unattended.
  • Always remove keys, even if you’re just stopping to buy fuel. 
  • Never leave valuables in your vehicle, even carrier bags – not even in the glove box or boot.
  • Be aware of your keys.  Don’t leave them unattended, or in pockets in changing rooms, or visible through your windows or front door.
  • If you have a vicinity key, keep it in a signal blocking pouch away from the front of your house.
  • Store car ownership documents at home, not in your car.
  • Secure number plates with anti-theft screws.
  •

    Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Thank you.
