Vehicle Theft prevention advice

🚔 Crime Prevention Message 🚔

We are reminding residents to take extra precautions to protect their vehicles from theft.

Many modern vehicles use keyless entry technology, which can be vulnerable to relay theft. A Faraday pouch can help prevent criminals from capturing your key's signal by blocking radio frequencies when the key is stored inside.

Other security measures include:

• Using a steering wheel lock
• Parking in well-lit areas 
• Installing a tracker or immobiliser 
• Keeping vehicle software updated

Small steps can make a big difference in keeping your vehicle safe.

If you see suspicious activity around vehicles, please report it.

📞 Call 101 to report non-emergency incidents or suspicious activity.
🚨 Call 999 if a crime is in progress or there is an immediate threat to life or property.
💻 Report information online via: www.leics.police.uk

Working together, we can help keep our community safe.
