We’ve seen a recent increase in opportunistic vehicle crime across parts of Lichfield. Please take a moment to follow these simple steps to help keep your vehicle — and your belongings — safe: 🔒 Lock up every time
Even if you’re only stepping away for a few minutes, always double‑check that your vehicle is locked and windows are fully closed. 👜 Remove valuables
Items such as bags, laptops, tools, cash, and even loose change can attract thieves. Keep your vehicle clear and tidy. 🔑 Keep keys safe
Store keys well away from doors and windows. Consider using a signal‑blocking pouch for keyless entry fobs. 💡 Park smart
Park in well‑lit areas or on a driveway whenever possible. If you have CCTV or a doorbell camera, make sure it’s working and positioned correctly. 📦 Secure tools & work vehicles
Tradespeople are especially encouraged to remove tools overnight and clearly mark tools with identifiable information. 👀 Report anything suspicious
If you see something that doesn’t look right, please report it to us.
