As a part of Dyfed-Powys Polices’ on-going efforts to reduce vehicle crime we would like to remind our communities of the following crime prevention advice.
Members of the public are reminded that most vehicle crime is preventable.
It can take as little as ten seconds for a thief to steal something from your car. The best way to protect your belongings is to lock your car whenever you leave it. Other things you can do include:
•Removing everything from the car; don’t even leave a jacket where it can be seen
•Closing the sunroof along with the windows when you leave
•Storing car ownership information in your home, not your car
•Having a routine to ensure you always take the keys out of the ignition
•Taking removable stereos and satellite navigation equipment with you
•In addition, using secure (theft resistant) number plates can make your plates less attractive to thieves
Where you park can make a big difference to the safety of your car and your belongings. Look out for car parks approved by the police Safer Parking scheme. You can find them by looking for their distinctive ‘Park Mark’ signs.”
