Crime: 21 April 2010

Today is one of those days, when I can put out a single message to the whole area because there has been so little crime in the last 24 hours.

A member of our Priority Crime Team that deals with 'serious acquisitive crime' - Burglaries and car crime. Has asked me to put out a warning:

Can you add something to remind car owners not to leave gate access fobs in clear sight in their cars; there have been a couple of incidents recently where fobs have been taken and this could link to a few places that have been burgled where the fobs have been used.

Many thanks,
