VEHICLE CRIME

We have had five reports of vehicles being broken into in the past week. All but one of them were vans and tools have been stolen. These occurred on Westhill Road, Birmingham Road, Greens Road and Tamworth Road. 

Two reports of vehicles actually being stolen. 

These have occurred on Rylston Ave overnight on 22/4 and the other one was on Norman Place Road on 24/4/. If you have keyless entry vehicles, please use a RFID bag to store your keys in when not in use. This prevents the offenders from picking up the signal and gaining entry in to the vehicle to steal it.
