❄️ DEFROST YOUR VEHICLE SAFELY ❄️

Don't make your car an easy target for thieves this winter!

As temperatures drop, many motorists leave their vehicles unattended with the engine running while they defrost the windows. Unfortunately, this presents an ideal opportunity for opportunist thieves.

🚗 Crime Prevention Advice: ✅ Stay with your vehicle whilst it is defrosting.
✅ Never leave your keys in the ignition unattended.
✅ Fully clear all windows, mirrors and lights before setting off.
✅ Lock your vehicle if you need to return indoors.
✅ Consider using a windscreen cover overnight to reduce frost build-up.

⚠️ Remember: It only takes a few seconds for a thief to drive away in an unattended vehicle, and insurance may be affected if keys are left in the car.

Let's work together to keep our communities safe this winter.
