Smart Alert: Car Key Burglaries

We are warning residents about car key burglaries, where offenders break into homes specifically to steal vehicle keys and take cars from driveways.

Please help protect your vehicle by:

Keeping keys away from doors, windows and letterboxes

Using a Faraday pouch for keyless entry fobs

Locking doors, windows, gates and garages

Fitting a steering wheel lock or driveway bollard

Leaving outside lights or CCTV/Ring doorbells active

Reporting suspicious activity immediately

Never leave keys on hallway tables, kitchen worktops or visible hooks.

If you see anyone acting suspiciously around homes, driveways or vehicles, call 999 in an emergency or report online/101 for non-emergencies.

Stay alert. Secure your keys. Protect your vehicle.
