Vehicle Crime in the beauty Spot locations

The following vehicle crime prevention advice comes after a recent report of vehicles being broken into while parked in the beauty spot car parks in the rural and isolated locations.

Keep your vehicle safe:

• Keep doors locked and do not leave windows open.
• Do not leave any valuables on display.
• Remove sat navs from display and wipe the mark from the window where it has been secured.
• MP3’s ipads, iphones etc. take them with you.
• If you intend to leave items in the vehicle place them in the boot and not in the glove box or under the seat.
• Put away any charging cables from the cigarette lighter and put the lighter back in it’s place.
• Remove stereo facia if possible.
• Leave the glove box open and sun visors down to show there is nothing hidden.
• Don’t leave any bags or clothing or loose change on display.

All of the above points were identified by a known criminal as to what he looks for when breaking into a vehicle.

Don’t make it easy for them !!
