Car Key Burglary Crime Prevention

With the darker nights upon us, there could be more opportunities for vehicle thieves to strike in the hours of darkness.

We often see car thieves and car key burglars using the cover of night to carry out their crimes, but a few small steps can help stop them in their tracks.

West Mercia Police is committed to tackling vehicle crime and has the following advice to protect your cars, motorbikes and vans from being stolen: -

🔑 Place keyless entry fobs into a ‘Faraday’ pouch
📍 Install a GPS tracker to your vehicle
🔦 Set up security lights and doorbell cameras
🔒 Check that your vehicle and windows in the home are locked
🚗 Get a steering wheel disc lock
❌ Consider installing a foldable bollard to your driveway
🚪 If possible, secure your vehicle out of sight in a garage
