The information we receive from the public is essential in bringing criminals to justice. 

Although this crime did not involve the offenders breaking in to the house the following information provides advice for residents to help protect their vehicle and home. 

Important advice and information:

Car key burglary is when an offender breaks into a home with the specific aim of stealing car keys and the vehicle from the property.

Perpetrators often target specific vehicles, based on demand and value. If a criminal is targeting a certain vehicle, they will also be targeting the owner, looking for easy ways to exploit their security and get to their keys. 

If you think you are being followed or see any suspicious vehicles lurking, take the registration number and report it to us.

Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime. 

Kind regards,

PCSO FISHER
