Help protect your car, valuables and community this Bonfire Night.
Bonfire Night is traditionally a busy time for car thieves as the noise of breaking in can be masked by loud fireworks.

Warwickshire Police would like to remind car owners driving to bonfire events to be vigilant in securing their vehicles when they park. Criminals are quick to take any opportunity to break in and grab whatever goods are available.

We advise the public to remove all valuables from their cars and not to hide them in the boot or under the seat. Sat Navs and their cradles should also be removed from the dashboard.

Warwickshire Police wants the public to have an enjoyable Bonfire Night, free from loss, injury and distress.
