E-Cops - Vehicle Crime

Unfortunately there has been an increase in vehicle crime across the north of the city.

DON’T LEAVE ANY VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR. This includes SAT NAVs and their holders. When you remove the holders, please wipe off any marks that may be on the windscreen from the holder – if there are marks on the windscreen it is fairly obvious that you have a Sat Nav and the offender may think you have left it in the glove box.

DON'T LEAVE ANY MONEY, including coins and cash in your vehicle. Even a small amount of loose change will tempt a thief. Do not leave clothing on the seats as this could possibly be hiding something underneath it.

Also remember to CLOSE ALL WINDOWS, including any sunroof and lock all the doors, not forgetting the boot. It only takes a minute to break into your vehicle, so close all the windows even if you have only popped to the shops and are only leaving your vehicle for a few minutes.

If you have any queries or want further general crime reduction advice please contact us and we will be happy to help.

Please also remain vigilant and keep a look out for any suspicious activity. If you see anything out of the ordinary, or people looking into vehicles, please do dial 999.

Many thanks.

Your North Police Team
