We are starting to see a gradual increase in smash-and-grab incidents across local areas. These crimes often target vehicles left unattended, especially when valuables are visible inside. Thieves are using this opportunity to quickly break into vehicles and steal items such as handbags, laptops, mobile phones and other valuables.

We ask all residents and visitors to take the following precautions:

DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN YOUR VEHICLE. Take them with you.

PARK IN WELL LIT SECURE AREAS Where possible.

LOCK YOUR VEHICLE AND DOUBLE CHECK ALL DOORS before walking away.

Please report any suspicious activity immediately to the police.

Your vigilance is crucial in helping us reduce these crimes. By taking simple steps, you can make it much harder for criminals to target your property.

Stay safe and help us keep our community secure.
