Crime Reference WK/12/4239 – Between the hours of 01:17 and 01:20 on Saturday the 14th of July 2012 a vehicle parked in ALEXANDRA GARDENS, KNAPHILL had items stolen out of it.

During this time the offender gained entry to the vehicle as it was left insecure and stole a number of items. Fortunately the incident was witnessed by a member of the public who called the police. A male has since been arrested and the stolen items recovered.

Please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle and always lock it, even if you are only leaving it unattended for a few minutes. It only takes a few seconds for an offender to seize an opportunity.

Consider securing bicycles with a Sold Secure approved D-Lock, visit http://www.soldsecure.com to find products that meet this approval. A record of their frame number should also be kept and registered onto a national property database, visit http://www.immobilise.com for further information.

Criminals will often steal vehicle registration plates to place on their own vehicles in order to carry out other criminal activities in an attempt to go undetected. Protect your registration plates by securing them to your vehicle with tamper proof screws and bolts. Visit http://www.safe-plates.co.uk for further information.

If you feel that you have witnessed any incident that may relate to the above crime/crimes please call 101 quoting the relevant crime number.
