Shirley North Safer Neighbourhood Team – Attempted theft from vehicles

~ admin

Can we please remind you all to make sure your doors, windows and cars are left locked and secure when you are not in them.

Just today we were sent video footage of two incidents overnight which involved people trying car doors. Luckily they were locked but this is not always the case.

As the evenings are now darker much earlier, please consider using timers for lights and lamps inside your house as a dark house is often obvious as an empty one. If we can see that you are out, so can burglars.

Please stay safe during this lockdown.

Report crime by calling 101 or in an emergency call 999.

Remember, you can also report crime online on our website: https://www.met.police.uk/
