Please ensure you remove any items and valuables from your vehicle when leaving, particularly overnight and when in remote locations. Opportunists have no regard for value. In the past we have even seen break ins to vehicles for small change left in the centre console – so please ensure you remove everything.
We are looking into a number of lines of enquiry in regards to the crimes mentioned above, including looking at CCTV evidence, Dash Cam footage as well as speaking to key witnesses who may have important and helpful information to assist us. If you have any information regarding the above please don’t hesitate to contact us on 101 or using Live Chat. This can be done anonymously if you wish.
Some security measures you might consider for your vehicles;
Anti-theft screws on VRM plates to prevent them from being removed/stolen. Remove all belongings from your vehicles including, electronics, valuables and even small change. Do not keep tools or other valuables inside your vehicle overnight or whilst unattended. Keep your car keys in a faraday pouch; these prevent the signal being read/cloned/exploited. A disk lock or crook lock to disable your steering wheel. These are both visual and physical deterrents. Get a cage fitted around the catalytic converter. Write on vehicles and valuables with SmartWater. This makes them easily identifiable if stolen and recovered.
CCTV and witness statements are being reviewed and we encourage anyone who may have information to call us on 101, webchat, or email the team direct at binleyandwillenhall@westmidlands.police.uk
Burglary
There was a residential burglary in Knoll Drive on 09th Febuary The homeowner has returned home and found that her house has been broken into causing damage to 2 rear doors in order to gain entry. Untidy search carried out and multiple items stolen. Our forensic team have attended and taken swabs and fingerprints. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The team have been conducting regular late night patrols to disrupt potential opportunistic offenders and deter crime. However, enquiries and investigations are also ongoing in relation to previously reported burglaries.
Although the team will continue their strategic patrols aimed to prevent and disrupt, there are some things you can also do to deter potential burglars;
Close and lock all doors and windows when leaving your property and overnight. Secure all outbuildings. Property, door and window alarms are an effective deterrent. Physical security measures like extra locks, chain locks, sash locks etc. Cameras and CCTV. These are not just a deterrent, they also provide us with a line of enquiry in identifying offenders should something happen to your property. Do not leave valuables in sight when leaving the property and overnight. Close curtains and blinds as opportunistic thieves and burglars may choose to take advantage.
If you see any suspicious behaviour, please report to us via 101, Live Chat, or if an emergency 999.
