Early hours Friday 28^th April 2012, there were two reports of theft from motor vehicles in Willoughby and Flecknoe. A number of items were stolen in both incidents, which had been left in the vehicles overnight.

The Neighbourhood Policing team would like to offer the following advice to help the public protect themselves against vehicle crime.

Always make sure that doors and windows are locked, and that a sunroof is shut before leaving a vehicle.

Do not leave any belongings left on display, even items of low monetary value. Items commonly left on display are coats or other clothing, electronic items and jewellery, mobile phones and loose change. All of these have re-sale value and can be the difference between a vehicle being targeted or not.
