increase in vehicle crime

🚨 Vehicle Crime Alert – Trafford Residents, Stay Vigilant 🚨

Trafford Police are urging all residents to take extra care following a recent increase in thefts from motor vehicles across the borough.

Criminals are targeting parked cars—often in residential areas and retail car parks—looking for valuables left in plain sight. Even small items like sunglasses, coins, or phone chargers can tempt a thief.

🔐 Help us reduce these crimes with a few simple steps:

• Remove all valuables before leaving your vehicle
• Don’t leave bags, tools, or tech visible—even if you’re just popping out
• Lock your doors and double-check windows are shut
• Park in well-lit, busy areas whenever possible

👀 If you see suspicious activity, please report it via 101 or online at gmp.police.uk. In an emergency, always call 999.

Let’s work together to keep Trafford safe. Please share this post with friends, family, and neighbours.
