Local Priorities Vehicle crime

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Vehicle crime , which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Fylde Rural Task Force have been investigating a number of Transit van thefts across Lytham St Annes and Blackpool.

A male has been arrested and interviewed for the offences and the investigation is ongoing. While someone has been arrested we still advise those with vans to be vigilant.

1. Keep doors and windows locked and secured
2. Keep keys in a safe place inside your home
3. Use a streeing lock or tire lock if possible
4. Use a GPS tracker or know who your tracking company is
5. Turn off keyless entry functions if you can overnight
6. Store key fobs in RFID blocking pouches
7. Ensure any CCTV is working correctly
8. Park the vehicle in a well lit area or use a seurity light

Report any thefts to the police as soon as possible, provide any tracking data if available and check any CCTV.
