Simple tips and advice for reducing vehicle crime
Help prevent car crime, please remember to:
- Park in well lit areas
- Lock all doors
- Close all windows
- Lock boot lids
- Remove all valuables from view
- Activate alarm/immobiliser
Although these are common sense precautions, around 20% of all vehicles parked have one or more doors left unlocked.
