Please don't make it easy for car thieves

POLICE are advising motorists to be extra vigilant when leaving their vehicles unattended.

Officers have seen a recent upsurge in thefts from vehicles in Warrington, specifically around the A49 Winwick Road.

Crime Reduction Advisors are offering the following tips when leaving your vehicle unattended.

l Lock all doors, windows and sunroofs

l Do not leave any valuables in your car - the damage caused by thieves breaking into vehicles can exceed the value of the items stolen

l Always park in a well-lit and open place away from concealed areas out of public view

l Always remove the car stereo if you can, it is one of the most sought after items in the car

l Never leave lap top computers or any valuables on display or unattended in the vehicle

For further information, or advice about crime prevention, contact Neil Jukes, or Lynne Lees c/o Community Safety Department, Warrington Police, Charles Stewart House, 55 Museum Street, Warrington, WA1 1NE.
