Theft from Motor Vehicle Clements Close Puckeridge

Dear Resident

 

During the early hours of Monday 4th August several vehicles have been broken into in Clements Close in Puckeridge.

 

An offender has been caught on CCTV entering several vehicles in Clements Close. This appears to be the same offender that has been active in other areas such as Hertford Heath. The vehicles involved have not been damaged which suggests that they may not have been locked.

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.
  • Remove your satnav and holder and wipe away suction marks which could indicate that a satnav is stored in your vehicle.
  • Be aware of your keys.  Don’t leave them lying around, visible or in pockets in changing rooms where they could be taken.  Don’t leave them visible on a windowsill or near to your front door, where they could be “hooked” through the letterbox. 
  • Register your valuables on www.immobilise.com.
  • Store car ownership documents at home, not in your car.
  • Secure number plates with anti-theft screws.

    •  

    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.
