Its crunch time for car criminals and burglars!
Warwickshire Police is launching a major operation against burglars and car criminals following a recent increase in the number of offences across the county.

The force-wide unit will be supported by officers and staff in local Safer Neighbourhood teams, reactive and CID officers, Task Force officers and officers in the force's Offender Management Unit, which targets persistent and prolific offenders.
Chief Superintendent Mak Chishty, Deputy Director of Local Policing and the person leading Operation Crunch said:

Are you interested in knowing more about Neighbourhood Watch?
A NHW scheme can have any number of residents but a minumum of 3 or 4 is usually recommended. Schemes are usually set up geographically and commonly by street, or collection of streets depending on their size and what is managable for the scheme.
Two volunteers are required to be co-ordinator and deputy co-ordinator and this is to pass on any useful correspondance from agencies should there be any.
Residents sign up and receive watch messages through a medium that suits them; usually telephone, fax or email.
It is up to the individual scheme how often they meet if at all however local police will aim to attend where possible and support the scheme as best possible.
If you would like any more information please leave your name, number and address on our team voicemail (01788 853851) or email: rrc.snt@warwickshire.pnn.police.uk and a team member will contact you.
