Be Moore Secure

In light of the increase of propert theft from vehicles, Hampshire Police have released advice on how to prevent this crime.

Vehicles - Keep your car locked and remove all valuable property from your car, including any bags and coats. Pull your car handle to CHECK it’s locked. If it’s a keyless entry car – make sure your car keys are not left within range for someone to copy the signal. To be sure, buy a ‘faraday pouch’. Thieves will break into cars for bags and coats, due to the possibility they may contain valuables. Thieves will search unlocked vehicles for ANYTHING - including, chargers, loose coins, sunglasses and keys.

If you see person/s hanging around homes, cars, sheds or garages - please call 101. If you see person/s trying door handles or trying to force entry - CALL 999 AT THE TIME - please give a description of the person/s inc clothing as best you can and which direction they have gone - and were they on foot, bike or car?

**Don't forget, you can call 999 or 101 from any phone but from mobiles, you will only get directed to the area you are calling from. e.g calling from Winchester will direct you to Hampshire and Isle of Wight
