Theft / Intefering with a Motor Vehilce

Theft / Intefering with a Motor Vehilce

Hello Resident,

Over the weekend our area has seen some vehilce crime take place in;

BRIGSTOCK

WIGSTHORPE &

LOWER BENEFIELD

All have involved a window being smashed & items taken from within.

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.
