Nailsworth Community

Nailsworth - Police Report April 2013

Since the NCG Meeting, Police have been arranging the above engagements within the Nailsworth Community to promote Crime Prevention. The aim is to have set dates in which Police will be available at various locations in and around Nailsworth where members of the Community can speak to Officers and discuss Crime Prevention.

At present dates are being arranged for the following locations : Nailsworth Garden Centre, Morrisons Supermarket, talks at the Youth Club, Supported Housing, Housing Association Meetings.         

If you would like Police to attend your Workplace, School, Organisation or Home please contact us.

This is the most common offence and is generally committed by opportunist thieves who target vehicles that have valuables in them. Your car is more likely to be broken into at home than when parked in a public car park. Risks can be dramatically reduced by taking these simple precautions when leaving it unattended.

• Always fully secure your vehicle.
• Remove detachable stereo equipment.
• Remove all items of property from view, even an old coat with nothing in the pockets will tempt some criminals.
• If removal is not an option, secure valuables out of site and do this away from final destination as criminals often observe car parks to look for people transferring valuables into the boot or hatch.
• Be selective about where you park your vehicle - is it busy and well used, will it still be busy at the time of return, is it well lit, is it covered by CCTV.

Very few cars are broken into or stolen when parked in garages -consider parking your vehicle in a garage when not in use.
