Stolen and Recovered

Dear residents

While carrying out school patrol duties, PC Baadjes observed a vehicle that appeared suspicious. Checks were conducted on the vehicle, which revealed that it had previously been reported stolen. The vehicle was subsequently recovered, having been missing for a period of time. The registered owner has been contacted and informed of the recovery.

Fit good in-car security locks

 We also encourage residents to think about additional physical security that can help to prevent your vehicle being driven away even if a thief gains entry. There are a range of security rated products tested by Sold Secure that can help, such as steering wheel locks, pedal boxes and gear stick locks.

Some of these products, tested to Sold Secure Diamond, can even resist a small hand-held angle grinder.

It's also worth speaking to your vehicle dealership about installing an aftermarket immobiliser approved by the manufacturer.

Immobilisers prevent a vehicle from starting unless the correct fob, key or activation process is used. They can be personalised so that you're the only one who knows how to unset it via a number of dashboard controls.
