Car Crime effects everyone!

A lot of car crime is opportunistic and could be prevented. For example about two thirds of all vehicle crime is theft from vehicles. We know that encouraging motorists not to leave goods on display in a car can reduce the risk of these types of theft.

We have a long-standing effective working relationship with our external agency partners. Rother Valley West would like to take this opportunity to advise that all vehicle users can help further reduce levels of car crime by ensuring that vehicles are secured effectively by shutting/locking all windows and doors.

In addition to this we strongly ask you to remove all valuables items from cars. If this is not possible then you should not leave them on display. Further Crime Prevention Advice can be obtained from Rother Valley West Safer Neighbourhood Team.
