Other offenders are continuing to commit similar offences across our police area. 

Police would like to remind residents to follow the advice to “Lock it,

or Lose it”, as there continue to be reports of thefts from cars that have been left insecure whilst parked and unattended across the Bracknell and Wokingham boroughs.

Owners/ drivers are asked to ensure they fully close and secure their car’s windows and check that vehicle doors are locked whenever they have to leave car unattended – even on your own private driveway.

KEEP YOUR CAR SECURE AND CLEAR.

Whenever possible don’t leave valuables in your unattended car, and don’t leave items on display, a thief will take the chance that a purse may have been left in that empty shopping bag, or there will be lose change in the pocket of that jacket.

If at any time you have a doorbell camera or other CCTV that alerts you to the fact someone has targeted your car, or have any other knowledge or information about these incidents please contact the Thames Valley Police, a 999 call is appropriate if the crime is in progress, otherwise phone the force’s non emergency contact centre on 101 or on line, or alternatively you can remain anonymous by passing information via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
