“When you are out and about try to park in a well-lit, busy area. At home, if you can park your vehicle in a garage, do it.

“If you park in your driveway, think of fitting external security lighting. If your car has an alarm, make sure it is activated. If you can, turn your car’s wing mirrors in towards the side of your car. Remember to reset them before driving off.

“Do not leave any property within the vehicle, take it with you or lock it out of sight in the car’s boot.

“Think about helping your community by starting a Neighbourhood Watch scheme. By co-operating with your neighbours and reporting anything suspicious to the police you could assist in preventing many crimes, making your street a safer and better place to live. Your local Community Safety Officer can offer advice about this and other Crime Prevention advice regarding your home and property.”
