Crime Prevention

There are some simple but effective things you can do to help protect your vehicle:

  • Park your car in a garage or driveway if possible, or on a busy, well-lit road.  Choose a ParkMark® accredited public car park wherever possible
  • Never leave anything on display in your car. The cost to repair damage to the vehicle will usually exceed the value of the theft
  • Drivers of some Toyota and Honda vehicles and some 4 x 4’s should install measures to deter theft of catalytic converts e.g  Catloc | Catalytic Convertor Theft Protection 
  • Further security tips and crime prevention advice can be found on the Northamptonshire Police website and on the Neighbourhood Watch website. 

    If you would like to contact your local policing team, visit the Your Area section of our website.

     

    Always keep your car locked and close the windows - even if you are only leaving the vehicle for a few moments.

     

    Always remove all items from your vehicle when parked - even an old coat may be enough to tempt a thief.

     

    Ensure when removing your sat nav, that the cradle and suction pad are also removed and any suction marks are wiped away.

     

    Never leave keys in the ignition, not even at a garage when paying for petrol.
