🔵 Vehicle Crime Prevention – Ashby & Surrounding AreasWe’ve received increased reports of individuals trying car doors and breaking into vehicles in and around the Ashby area. While officers are carrying out additional patrols, we’re asking residents to take a few simple steps to help reduce opportunities for offenders: 🔐 Secure your vehicle Always double‑check doors are locked and windows are fully closed.Make sure wing mirrors have folded in (if your vehicle does this automatically).🚫 Remove anything attractive to thieves Take valuables with you — even loose change, bags, sunglasses, or charging cables can tempt an offender.Remove or hide any items that suggest valuables may be inside (sat-nav mounts, laptop bags, etc.).🌙 Park smart Use well‑lit or busy areas where possible.If you have a driveway, park close to your property and consider motion‑sensor lighting or CCTV.📱 Report suspicious activity If you see someone trying door handles or acting suspiciously, report it immediately via 101 or online.Always call 999 in an emergency or if a crime is in progress.👮♀️ Reassurance Patrols
Officers 6633 and 6686 have completed reassurance patrols today in key areas to support the community and help deter offending. Your reports help us target patrols and identify those responsible.
