        A reminder to vehicle owners to keep their vehicles safe and secure after reports items have been taken form vehicle                 overnight when they have been left on display or the vehicles left insecure.

 West Midlands Police  recommends these specific layers to protect your vehicle:  

 Primary Layer: Physical Steering Lock 

 Use a sturdy lock that is Sold Secure tested or Secured by Design approved. 

 Full-cover "Disklok" types are highly recommended as they are difficult to remove and very visible. 

 Secondary Layer: Key Protection 

 Faraday Pouch: Store keyless fobs in a signal-blocking pouch to prevent "relay theft," where thieves intercept the signal        from inside your home. 

 Safe Storage: Keep keys well away from the front door and windows to prevent them from being "fished" through a                letterbox. 

Tertiary Layer: Driveway & Technology 

Driveway Security: Consider installing pull-up metal pillars (bollards) to physically trap the car on your drive. 

Trackers & Alarms: Use Thatcham-rated category 1 or 2 alarms and tracking systems to help recover the vehicle if it is taken. 

Final Layer: Habitual Checks 

Double-Check: Always pull the handle to ensure it’s locked, as thieves may use "jammers" to block your remote signal. 

Clear the Cabin: Never leave valuables like bags, cash, or electronics on display; even a small amount of change can tempt a break-in 

We regularly hold police surgeries and drop-in sessions for you to come along and get advice on crime prevention, protecting your homes or cars etc

NEXT Police Surgery is Sunday 12th July 2026 11.00 – 12.00 at Wollaston Village Hall, Bridgnorth Road Wollaston.
