Current Priorities
You are telling us that the following issues
are a priority in your area:
| PRIORITY |
| 1 - Theft
from unattended motor vehicles - There has been an
increase in the number of thefts from vehicles across Poole. Over
half of all the vehices broken into in the area were unlocked at
the time of the crime, meaning that these thefts could have
been easily prevented had the owner taken simple precautions.
To reduce the risk of having your car broken into, you should
always check that their vehicle is locked and all windows are
closed before leaving it unattended. Items left in vehicles - such
as sat-navs and loose change - are a target to thieves. These
should be removed altogether as thieves will often watch people
hiding their valuables before breaking into the vehicle. Any
evidence of valuable items - such as sat-nav suction cups - should
also be removed.
|
| 2 - Dwelling burglaries - there has been an
increase in burglaries in the area. Safer Neighbourhood officers
are carrying out extra patrols in affected areas and
are using intelligence to target offenders.
Officers are also disseminating crime advice and updates
via leaflets, signs, twitter and community messaging.
Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant - the warmer weather
often brings an increase in distraction burglaries such as bogus
water and gas officials. Look out for your elderly and vulnerable
neighbours and call the police on 101 if you see
anything suspicious. This number is for non-emergencies only. If a
crime is in progress or life is in danger, please dial 999.
