Crime Prevention – Theft from Motor Vehicles

Becontree Safer Neighbourhood Team – Met Police

Help us keep Becontree safe by taking a few simple steps to protect your vehicle and belongings from opportunistic thieves.

Here’s what you can do:

✅ Always lock your vehicle – Even if you're only stepping away briefly.
✅ Remove all valuables – Don’t leave bags, laptops, phones, or even loose change visible.
✅ Park in well-lit areas – Thieves prefer dark, quiet spots.
✅ Use security devices – Alarms, steering locks, and dashcams can be strong deterrents.
✅ Report suspicious activity – If you see something unusual, let us know via 101 or online. In emergencies, call 999.

Your awareness and action make a real difference.
