Officers are finding common themes when speaking with victims of car crimes, with many vehicles being left unsecured.
“We want to remind everyone, don’t make it easy for criminals – take the valuables out of the car, or put them out of sight, and keep the windows up and doors locked when you get out,” Detective Sergeant Heath Karlson says.
“Thieves want an easy target. Many of the offenders we speak to often comment on how naive victims can be by leaving their cars unlocked.”
Police also recommend people fit an immobiliser, a steering lock, or a vehicle alarm, if possible.
“If you don’t have a garage, things like steering wheel locks are an affordable way to deter someone who’s eyeing-up your car, and immobilisers are a worthwhile investment too. But basic steps such as rolling up windows, parking in well-lit or busy areas, and removing valuables also make a difference,” Detective Sergeant Karlson says.
“Even if you don’t drive, you can make a difference by reporting suspicious behaviour. Even if it turns out to be nothing, your report gives Police the chance to direct a patrol through the area and make sure nothing untoward is happening. It also helps us build a picture of where we’re most needed.”
If you see illegal or suspicious behaviour that’s happening now, call 111. If it’s after the fact, contact us via 105.
