Over the last two weeks there has been an increase in overnight burglaries where vehicles have been stolen. The offences have been in in Wooburn Green, Marlow, Taplow and Chalfont St Peter. We are sending this to all TV alert subscribers across South Bucks as an FYI as others areas could be targeted. Offenders have been entering the properties through insecure front and rear doors, when inside they target car keys, wallets and handbags. They have then gone on to steal high powered German vehicles such as a BMW and Mercedes Benz. TVP continue to work to target and decrease domestic burglaries and car thefts, but as a reminder of some basic security procedures: Keep your doors locked at all timesUse window locksLock your gate to stop people having free access to the rear or side of your homeKeep car keys and valuables well out of view and away from the front door Consider additional physical security for your vehicle such as steering wheel locksWe have heard feedback while circulating crime prevention advice that some members of public have garages yet opt out of using them, if you do have a garage and can keep your car locked away, this will greatly prevent vehicle theft. Consider CCTV for driveway if you have not done so already. |
