There have been reports of overnight thefts from motor vehicles in the Kimpton and Whitwell areas.
Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity in your area.
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.
