Vehicle Crime – Here are a few crime prevention tips to deter vehicle crime.

• Always lock your vehicle. Whether it’s in the garage, on the driveway of your house, unattended for a few seconds or in an isolated car park, lock it and activate any alarm system.
• Always remove valuable items from the vehicle. If this cannot be done the items must be removed from view and secured in a glove box or boot.
• Fit an alarm that will activate on movement in the vehicle. An alarm that can notify you in real time that there is a problem is extremely useful.
• Items such as tools and machinery that cannot be removed can be secured in lockers and security marked with high visibility paint etc.
• If available, park your vehicle in a location that is covered by CCTV, overlooked by houses or is in constant use.
• Use anti-theft screws and sticky pads for number plates. If you have a plate that is stolen, replace it with one that has a different design so it is distinguishable from the stolen plate.
• If you see or hear any suspicious activity around a car or car park, ring 101 to report straight away.
