Theft from a vehicle

Theft from a vehicle

Hello

Over the last 48 hours we have taken reports of 2 thefts from motor vehicles at the below locations on the City West area.

These have occurred on Bracknell Crescent and Whitechapel Street.

Please ensure that if you leave your vehicle unattended that it is locked and report any person you see acting suspiciously around vehicles and ensure that there are no valuables on show. If a crime is in progress then please contact Nottinghamshire Police on 999.

You can also pass on information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

There are some simple but effective things you can do to help protect your vehicle:

Park your car in a garage or driveway if possible, or on a busy, well-lit road. Choose a ParkMark® accredited public car park wherever possible

Never leave anything on display in your car. The cost to repair damage to the vehicle will usually exceed the value of the theft

Drivers of some Toyota and Honda vehicles and some 4 x 4’s should install measures to deter theft of catalytic converts e.g Catloc | Catalytic Convertor Theft Protection

Further security tips and crime prevention advice can be found on the Crime prevention advice | Nottinghamshire Police and on the Neighbourhood Watch website.
