Matthew Barber launches campaign to raise awareness of precautions residents can take

Vehicle Crime and Tool Theft campaign launched by PCC

Matthew Barber (Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley) has launched a crime prevention campaign with the aim of informing residents about how to keep vehicles and tools safe from criminals

Having your vehicle stolen or something stolen from it isn’t just an inconvenience, it can also result in financial loss, emotional stress and, depending on where the theft took place, security and community safety concerns.

 

In the 12 months to the end of August this year, there have been 3,496 vehicle thefts and 6,666 thefts from vehicles in the Thames Valley.

 

To help address this, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner is working with Thames Valley Police and partners, retailers and hoteliers on a campaign to raise awareness of precautions residents can take to help reduce the risk.
