The

particularly over the weekend. As a result crime levels are well down.

been left insecure. He disturbed the offender who immediately made off.
CAR
CRIME:
6
Thefts From Cars. Can I remind anyone that has a neighbour with a VW Golf
with leather seats that these are still being targeted. In one case over
the weekend, an offender was disturbed stealing the seats. He left them
beside the car as he made off. These leather seats cost a fortune to
replace !
A
lot of the burglaries at the moment are through insecure patio or rear
doors. These are burglaries that should not have happened. Thieves are
always on the lookout for the easiest option - walking in, instead of
breaking in, is the easiest option. Please can you warn everyone, to lock
their rear / patio doors and make sure no keys are left in doors or
visible through windows. Also remember catflaps ! Thieves can reach up and
remove keys from the inside.
