Opportunist Thefts

The level of crime in the West Mercia Police area is relatively low, but thieves are always on the look out for an opportunity to make a fast buck. Make sure you lock up securely before you leave your home or work premises. Use a Faraday bag to store car keys. This will prevent thieves from cloning your car's key-code while the keys are stored inside your property. There are also lots of great ideas on how to make your property more secure on the ‘Secured by Design' (SBO) website, where you will also find a range of ’Specialist Design Guides' to help you through the process of making your property safe. Whatever you do, don't make things easy for would-be thieves and remember, if you do see anything suspicious, report it to the police!
