Policing Summary:

When people think of vehicle crime the issue of smashed windows and missing stereos or sat navs always spring to mind. However, over recent weeks we have had a spate of other items being stolen from vehicles. Catalytic converters are always popular due to the expensive metal they contain that can be easily recycled and sold on but historically we have also had hubcaps, wheel trims and light fittings.

You can reduce the chances of being a victim of this type of crime by trying to park your vehicle on a drive or within view of your house and in a well-lit area if possible.

Please remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity around yours or your neighbour’s vehicles to the Police using 101 or 999 in an emergency.
