Motor Vehicle Crime

Help keep our community safe by taking a few simple steps to protect your vehicle. Motor crime is often opportunistic — thieves look for easy targets. By staying vigilant and securing your belongings, you can significantly reduce the risk of becoming a victim.

Remember:

Always lock your vehicle, even if you’re stepping away briefly.

Remove valuables such as bags, phones, wallets, tools, and electronics.

Hide essential items if they must remain in the vehicle.

Park in well‑lit, busy areas whenever possible.

Consider additional security such as steering locks, alarms, or trackers.

Choose parking areas covered by CCTV, as visible surveillance can act as a strong deterrent and helps support investigations if an incident occurs.

Your awareness and quick actions help protect both your vehicle and your neighbourhood.
