Some of the thefts reported have been from beauty spots, where people have parked up to go for a walk and left valuable items on display in their vehicles.
Don’t make it easy for thieves, when leaving your vehicle parked up at night or when left unattended for any period of time, please remember to make sure it is secure and remove any valuables. If you become a victim, it is not just the replacement of items stolen, but the inconvenience caused and sometimes the costly repair to your vehicle.
Please can you forward this message onto any friends, family and work colleagues who do not receive community messages, to advise them NOT to leave anything of value in their vehicles.
Please be extra vigilant and report anyone acting suspiciously in or around parked vehicles to the police. If you have seen any suspicious looking people or vehicles in the area or have any information relating to this message, please call the police on the new national single non-emergency telephone number 101 and state you are responding to a Ringmaster message.
