Afternoon Resident,

You're receiving this email to inform you of a motorbike being stolen in your area. The motorbike was taken within the early hours of the morning on MATHER AVENUE  within the approximate timeframe of the 10th - 1930hrs till 11th - 0440hrs.

If you could please check your CCTV in aid to help us identify those involved. If your CCTV has captured anything please either reply to this email or call 101 quoting the following log number “LC-20240411-0159”

I want to offer some advice, that may help prevent anything like this happening to you! I will list various things you can consider, some cheap some expensive:

Double check your car is locked - May seem obvious but you'll be surprised how often people leave their vehicle unlocked.

Faraday pouch/box - Prevents criminal from get the signal from your key and tricking your car into thinking the key is inside the car and starting - (Keyless cars only)

Steering / Disc Lock - Visual deterrent, criminal will most likely want a quick and easy target, having these will prolong/prevent the process of taking your vehicle.

Driveway Bollards - Costly but prevents your car driving away from your drive

Ghost Immobiliser - Getting this installed in your car can also be expensive but are effective, as a code (a sequence of button inputs) decided by you will be required before the car will start.

Wheel Clamps - Self explanatory really, another visual deterrent.

Lighting and CCTV - Having a well lit area covered by CCTV may provide opportunities to identify offenders.

Keep an eye out for each other and report any suspicious activity you see to either 101, online reporting, Accrington front desk or reply to this message which goes directly to me!

Hope this has been useful to you!  

If you have any neighbours who aren't part STAY IN THE KNOW but you think may benefit from these messages you can pass them my email to contact me and I will sign them up via phone or a in person visit.
