You told us that you were concerned about vehicle crime. This can be theft of motor vehicles or theft from motor vehicles, this also includes theft of tools from vans and theft of catalytic convertors.

We conduct regular patrols of the areas where offences have occurred, we also use covert and overt tactics to target offences and this has already resulted in arrested and recovery of property. We will continue to do this going forward, particularly into the winter months when nights are darker. We have recently purchased, with support of the community safety partnership, crime prevention items. These include number plate screws, to make it harder to steal number plates as well as faraday pouches. The pouches are available at our crime prevention events or from the police stations. Please check our events for when beat meetings/crime prevention events are happening. If you have concerns about crime in your area please contact your local team.
