Increase in theft from vehicles

Dear Resident

Please be aware that we are having an increase in thefts from motor vehicles.

I would like to remind people to remove all items from view such as change, bags, coats etc.

Could I also ask that you make sure your vehicles are locked and secure as a number of these offences have taken place due to insecurities.

There are some simple but effective things you can do to help protect your vehicle:

Park your car in a garage or driveway if possible, or on a busy, well-lit road. Choose a ParkMark® accredited public car park wherever possible

Never leave anything on display in your car. The cost to repair damage to the vehicle will usually exceed the value of the theft

Drivers of some Toyota and Honda vehicles and some 4 x 4’s should install measures to deter theft of catalytic converts e.g Catloc | Catalytic Convertor Theft Protection

Further security tips and crime prevention advice can be found on the Northamptonshire Police website and on the Neighbourhood Watch website.

If you would like to contact your local policing team, visit the Your Area section of our website.

Kind regards,

PCSO Adam Martin 7066
