Don’t let car thieves steal Christmas ECO SOFAS Christmas is a time for communities to support each other and come together, but for some, it is an opportunity to steal and ruin the festive cheer. Roads Policing Officers are warning drivers, including those that deliver parcels, to be extra vigilant in the run up to Christmas, as unfortunately we often see an increase of car thefts and opportunist thieves trying their luck at this time of year. Delivery drivers are being urged to remember that car thieves are watching, and
they will take their chance to steal your vehicle and parcels. Also, as the mornings become colder, we also see an increase of cars with their engines running on driveways while windscreens clear from ice and snow; criminals will take this opportunity to steal your car. Roads Policing Inspector Matt Collings tells us more. He said: “Sadly, Christmas is a time when thieves take advantage of people. As temperatures have recently dropped to below
0 degrees, many of us will have spent our mornings de-icing our cars before work or the school run. Unfortunately, we have already received quite a few reports of car thefts this week due to cars being left running on driveways and on the road. It is important to lock your car every time you get out of it. Do not leave your car running for any reason, even on your own driveway. “If officers see a car engine running without a driver inside, we can report you to your insurance company or
issue you with a fine. “We don’t want to issue anyone with a ticket for something that can be avoided, but we must take action. Thieves that steal cars pose a risk to our communities. Stolen cars are more likely to be used in further crimes, and will often be driven dangerously with the drivers taking extra risks, including failing to stop for officers. This creates risks for other drivers on the road and pedestrians, and gives thieves the opportunity to commit crimes and impact
on people’s lives. We can all take simple steps to avoid this happening, so please lock your doors, for everyone’s safety.” Please be vigilant and remember to lock your car, never leave your car unattended and remove all personal items when leaving your car. More about car safety can be found on the PoliceUK website. If you suspect someone is following you or acting suspiciously please call 101 or use our online portal, or call 999 in an emergency.
