Stolen vehicle recovered

Dear Resident

Two people were arrested and a stolen vehicle was recovered by officers in #HemelHempstead yesterday (Monday 30 June).

Early on Sunday morning, police received a report that a Suzuki Swift had been stolen from outside an address in the town at some point over night.

Yesterday afternoon, officers on patrol were alerted to the vehicle being driven in #HemelHempstead.

It was located and stopped, with two people inside.

A man and a woman were subsequently arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.

The vehicle was returned to its rightful owner and enquiries are continuing.

Tips to prevent vehicle crime:

Ensure you lock doors and shut windows/sunroof when leaving your vehicle unattended.

Always remove keys from the ignition when you are not with the vehicle

When parking, remember to set your immobiliser or alarm or use an approved steering lock or gear lever clamp.

Never leave valuables in your vehicle – not even in the glove box or boot – and keep all possessions out of sight – even coats, sunglasses and carrier bags.

Be aware of your keys. Don’t leave them visible on a windowsill or near to your front door, where they could be “hooked” through the letterbox.

If you have a keyless entry car use a signal blocking bag.

Store car ownership documents at home, not in your car.

Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activities in the area.

If you need to report a crime please call 101 or go online here.
